TBRW Awards

[Trotsky]

I've got my ideas; let's hear yours.

(The Belanger will be by popular vote this year -- more than any other award, it's impossible to determine based on video alone).

Link to last year's.

Greg,

You're a Cornell hockey mastermind, as always.  I don't know enough about the players to nominate someone for every award, but I must nominate Evan Barlow for the Leadership and Passion Award.  The amazing run he had through the ECACs and NCAAs was nothing short of inspiring.  He'll be missed next year.

Scrappiness and Effort: Riley Nash.  He doesn't fit the profile for this one, since he's almost assuredly the most talented player on the team and is the MVP (well, him or Greening.)  But I have to credit him for his assist on Cornell's biggest goal of the year: falling down after getting mugged by two Huskies and somehow getting the puck to Barlow for the GWG against Northeastern.

I look forward to reading the nominations from people who know a lot more about this than me (that's just about everyone.)  Elie, I am looking in your direction.

--David '02

Most respected opponent - Brian Leitch, Quinnipiac or Lee Jubinville, Princeton


Least respected opponent - Kevin DeVirgilio, St. Lawrence. That kid has had my hate since he through one of the most dirty spears I have ever seen during 2005-2006, and has just kept doing it ever since.

How about the whole RPI team?

Natyshak (Career Improvement): Evan Barlow- We did not see this kind of fire in the last three years. He became a monster, like Iggulden as a senior and Sawada at the end of his last season.

MacFarlane (Skating Beauty and Prowess): Riley Nash. No doubt about it.

Shippel-Hornby (Scrappiness and Effort): I'd like to give it to Colin Greening, but this goes to Blake Gallagher for postseason heroics.

Gage (Supporting Role): Jared Seminoff. He doesn't get talked about much, but he will be missed.

Schafer-Bâby (Leadership and Passion): Colin Greening for putting the team on his shoulder game after game. Even Sucks, when we lost, it seemed like he would singlehandedly score a goal.

Carter-Moore (Respected Opponent): Backman and Arcobello played together in high school.

Melrose-Nickerson (Least Respected Opponent): Eric BurgerKing(RPI)

Dadswell-Vesce (Freshman MVP): Keir Ross

Nieuwendyk-Murray (MVP): Colin Greening

Not a fair comparison.  Age hasn't been telling us for years that he could score.

[oceanst41]

Natyshak-Paolini (Career Improvement): Evan Barlow - for that playoff run alone
MacFarlane (Skating Beauty and Prowess): Riley Nash
Shippel-Hornby (Scrappiness and Effort): Joe Scali
Gage (Supporting Role): Joe Scali - again
Schafer-Bâby (Leadership and Passion): Tyler Mugford
Carter-Moore (Respected Opponent): Sean Backman
Melrose-Nickerson (Least Respected Opponent): Eric Burgdoerfer - easiest pick on the board
Dadswell-Vesce (Freshman MVP): Keir Ross
Nieuwendyk-Murray (MVP): Colin Greening

[JDeafv]

Career Improvement: Michael Kennedy, he was gawky and awkward as a frosh and now he's a leader of the team.

Transcendent Beauty and Skating Prowess: Evan Barlow. The goal against Princeton.

Scrappiness and Effort: Brendon Nash - when he hits, he really hits, better than anybody else on the team.

Determination in a Supporting Role: - Taylor Davenport - battled to earn ice time at the start of the season, but became a solid dman with lots of time on the PK.

Leadership and Passion: Blake Gallagher - plays through more injuries than any other player and is a true leader with his effort on the ice.

Most Loathed Referee: Carusone/Dell.  The first RPI quarterfinal game.

Leading Goaltender: Dan DiLeo - made a huge save against Union in the final minute to keep the game put away.

Most Respected Opponent: Cam MacIntyre (Princeton) - He's a leader on Princeton and had 1 goal and 3 assists against us.

Least Respected Opponent. Seth Appert - He allows and encourages his team to be goons.

Most Valuable Freshman: Keir Ross - He transitioned best to college hockey and looked like a seasoned player from the start.

Most Valuable Player: Riley Nash - He stepped out from trying to be just a scorer and contributed on both sides of the ice, including becoming a very good penalty killer.
