Unfortunately, NCAA regulations require that all ice hockey awards be named after former Princeton players.  ::uhoh::

Certainment!  My fingers did it again.

Voting for the Hobey is done after the Regionals ... I selected Potulny and Carle over Elliott because those two were simply, clearly, observably dominant college hockey players.  While, obviously, a goaltender who is merely great has a greater impact on a hockey game, theoretically, than one dominant skater ... within their position, Carle and Potulny were dominant players.  Elliott, through design, perhaps, does not steal games - though, of course, there's something to be said for his steadiness.

I wrote about this here, if anyone cares:

[/quote]All the more reason to have a separate goalie award. It's too hard to compare the skaters and the goalies.

In the pros, you have to make a choice where to spend your money, and you don't get a separate pot marked "goaltender." In college, sure, it's hard to determine if a great goalie is more valuable than a great forward, or defender for that matter ... but the beauty of awards such as the Hobey is it keeps fans arguing over the possibilities long after the rinks  have been defrosted for the summer months.

I love it! It's dead-on.  Even leaning on the crossbar. I wondered how much of this was calculated theater on Dryden's part.  Motionless and looking bored.  Must have driven other teams crazy.

Never been to the HHOF, huh?

I'm pretty sure somewhere in The Game Dryden says that it was at least part, if not mostly, theater. I'll pick up my copy tonight and see if I can find it
