2026 TBRW Awards

[Trotsky]

Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

This thread will end and I will announce the results, based entirely on my whim, when I please.

Your nominations will be dutifully considered, as will your gifts of prime real estate, Cornell Hockey Peace Prizes, and rare earth elements.

Not DMs this year?

[Trotsky]

I'm in enough trouble.

[RichH]

Just give Castagna the MacFarlane and Walsh the Schafer already.

I'm torn on the Shippel - thinking Kraft for that one maybe?
I agree with the others you picked

[Larry72]

Natyshak - DeSantis
MacFarlane - Walsh
Gage - Kraft
Shippel - Major
Schaefer - Castagna
Oates - Syer
Dadswell - Veilleux
Nieuwendyk - Castagna

[stereax]

Natyshak - DeSantis (idk if there are any great candidates this year)
MacFarlane - Castagna
Gage - O'Brien
Shippel - Kraft
Schafer - Walsh
Oates - Arthur Smith (Princeton)
Dadswell - Veilleux (my apologies, Cato and Courns)
Nieuwendyk - You could give it to either Walsh or Casty and have it be equally valid. I think the majority will say Casty so I'm gonna give Walsh some love here.

Can't believe y'all want to give Wyttenbach the Oates for (checks notes) being a Cornell legacy who scorned us (only half joking here)

You aren't giving the Dadswell to Cato? 

Who are you and what have you done to Stereax?

I have it on record that Cato is the third best freshman in this class!

I love him but still. X and Alexis are more valuable.

[Snowball]

Natyshak - O'Brien
MacFarlane - Major
Gage - Stanley
Shippel - Kraft
Schaefer - Walsh
Oates - Wyttenbach
Dadswell - Veilleux / Cato tie
Nieuwendyk - Castsgna

[Trotsky]

For transparency, my initial picks before being convinced otherwise:

Natyshak - O'Brien (the award should be renamed to him)
MacFarlane - Major
Gage - Keoppel
Shippel - Kraft
Schafer - Walsh
Oates - Ben Syer
Dadswell - Veilleux
Nieuwendyk - Castagna

[stereax]

I was close to going O'Brien for Natyshak myself.

Also, Syer for Oates is a great pick.
