Did you notice that a Siglet from Bowling Green is challenging McKee but another Siglet (from Bowling Green) is challenging Moulson also! Too bad it wasn't the Abbott's vs. Siglet's!!!::crazy:: I imagine the are related (maybe even twins), are they really that good?

They are five years apart in age, so it is unlikely that they are twins. ::rolleyes:: . Jordan Sigalet is the one who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.

I'm assuming you're talking about the Sigalet brothers. Don't know about the skater, but the goalie has posted pretty impressive numbers this year. He's battling MS, recently diagnosed, so he can't play in every game, but he's posted something like a .917 in the games he has played. Pretty impressive for a guy with numbness in both hands.

There's an article about him in the latest edition of the USCHO Magazine.

So he is probably getting some sympathy votes as well, not to mention national attention due to his diagnosis. Do you think writers would be more inclined to give him the Hobey to draw more attention to the sport and the award itself?

Tom Lento · January 28, 2005, 11:23:56 AM

I don't know about the writers, but the article does say that he's not looking for pity awards. Seems like he specifically mentioned that to the reporter. He's just hoping he can play well enough to help the team - and based on his numbers, he can - and he hopes to get in touch with other people battling the illness.

I doubt he'll win the Hobey on the basis of sympathy, but who knows? They may elect to give him an award for impressive play in the face of adversity or something.

Well, he impressed a lot of Cornell fans, including myself, last season during BGSU's trip to Lynah. It was before his MS was diagnosed. He's definitely got skills...37 Cornell shots, 1 GA.

I forget who mentioned it already, but Sigalet (BGSU's goalie) made a RIDICULOUS save in third period. He was down on his knees, and he reached up behind him and caught a puck that was headed for the open net. I really could not believe it. That guy really kept them in the game; he had a quick glove, and was easily the first star.[/Q]

He's fallen back to fourth, keep voting!

He's also fallen behind Mattie Five-hole in GAA after last night.

McKee 4th, Moulson 20th. How many make it to the next round? Is there any advantage to McKee being higher, or should we reverse the McKee/Moulson votes to bring Moulson up?

Ten advance, but it's not the fans' top ten that you see in the current standings. From the Hobey website:
"Preliminary Voting: Running from Monday, Jan. 24, through Sunday, March 6, fans may cast one ballot per day for their first-, second- and third-place choices for the Hobey Baker Award. The fans' tally will be combined with the votes of the 58 Division I head coaches to determine the 10 finalists for the award."
So the fans' vote is likely only 1/59 of the total. How the fans' vote is combined with the coaches' vote is a mystery, as the coaches don't vote for a top ten, but "Every head hockey coach at an accredited Division I NCAA school receives one ballot. Coaches are asked to pick the top three players in their league and the top three players in the nation (two separate rankings, three players each; a player may be listed in both places, and a coach can vote for his own player).
Coaches from 58 schools are eligible. The ballots are tabulated by an accounting firm, and the top ten candidates are named. "
