Impressive for a player to win the award from a 6th place team.

The conference breakdown in the tournament should be:
ECAC: 5 (Colgate, Yale, Quinnipiac, Harvard, Clarkson)
WCHA: 4 (Minnesota, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Minnesota-Duluth)
HEA: 1 (Northeastern)
CHA: 1 (Syracuse)

Colgate had Hobey Baker and Tewaaraton winners same or adjacent years in the past decade for teams that also went nowhere.

The NCAA expanded the women's tourney this year to 11 teams (from 8) in response to complaints of a discrepancy between the men's and women's events. This means 27 percent of the women's teams made the tourney, similar to the men. While the ECAC will most likely only have 1 or 2 ECAC teams in this year's men's NCAA tourney, 5 of the 11 teams in the women's NCAA tourney are from the ECAC. None of them are favored, though, to win it all. The highest seeds from the ECAC are Colgate (4) and Yale (5), who play each other in the quarterfinals in a rematch of the ECAC championship game, meaning one ECAC team is assured of reaching the Frozen Four. In any case, it will be interesting to see if any of the ECAC teams can beat someone from outside the conference in the tournament.

The Yale-Colgate matchup (actually a quarterfinal-round game) does guarantee at least one ECAC team in the Frozen Four.

Time to fact-check billhoward again. Colgate has never had a Hobey winner. Austin Smith was one of the 3 finalists in 2012, but didn't win. Only one ECAC school ever gets that award, and they've done it four times. They must have a good PR department.

"Quid pro quo," Scersk '97 said, trying to instigate a smear.

FWIW, #1 seed Ohio State went through Quinnipac, Yale, and UMD to win their first National Championship.

I was going to say something about a new conference breaking through, but no, the Buckeyes play in the WCHA too. The only non-WCHA school to win that tournament is ... sigh ... Clarkson (3x).

This is the U18 Worlds in Wisconsin. Incoming D Grace Dwyer had a couple of assists in a 6-1 win.

Canada has four incoming Red players (and a 2023 commit) and lost its opener, 2-0 to Finland.

There are two 2023 Cornell commits on Team Canada, Piper Grober and Karel Prefontaine.
