History's Favorite Hobey: Neal Broten
On
the 25th anniversary of college hockey's highest individual honor,
Inside College Hockey asked for your help to determine History's
Favorite Hobey. Turns out, the selection committee had it right
from the get-go.
Nearly
half of the more than 1,100 fans voting in our final round picked
Neal Broten, the first recipient of the award, as History's Favorite
Hobey. The Gopher forward and 1980 Olympian was one of four Minnesota
players to win the Hobey.
To
the right, you can follow Broten's path to the crown. Below is our
introduction to the tournament:
Think
of how difficult it is to pick the winner of the Hobey Baker Memorial
Award each season. Even when the field is narrowed to ten –
and then three – candidates, the players still possess a litany
of reasons supporting their claim as the college hockey’s
top individual performer.
Now,
INCH takes that premise one step further, asking our readers to
pick the best of the best as part of the History’s Favorite
Hobey poll. As the Hobey Baker Award celebrates its 25th year, we
want you to decide which of the two dozen previous winners stands
as the your favorite all-time Hobey winner.
