      Elliot Olshansky's USCHO article about 10 Hobey Baker possibilities http://www.uscho.com/blogs/hobey-wat...-the-call.html.
      Chase Polacek, junior, forward, Rensselaer - When I sized up the contenders a couple of weeks ago, I listed two ECAC Hockey players as “On Solid Ground.” One was Polacek, the other was Yale’s Broc Little. Well, a couple of things happened since I wrote that. One, Both Polacek and Little saw their teams eliminated from the ECAC Hockey playoffs by Brown. Two, Ben Scrivens solidified his hold on a spot. I don’t think there will be three finalists from ECAC Hockey, so somebody’s got to go, and I think it’s Little. Yale’s quarterfinal loss to Brown made a strong case that the absent Sean Backman, not Little, is the key player for Yale, and given that Backman was injured under circumstances that can be charitably described as “ill-advised,” it’s not like he’ll be picking up the votes. On top of that, Little is one reasonably equal part of a very balanced Yale attack, where Polacek was clearly “the man” for RPI, both in terms of overall scoring and in terms of his clutch performance. You will recall that when I calculated “Campellnomics” averages for the nation’s top skaters last month, Polacek led the field with a 1.10 CPPG average. Essentially, that means he could be counted on for one go-ahead goal per game. Little was also among the leaders, but if only one is going in, I’m thinking it’s Polacek.

        Simply stated Chase deserves to be a finalist. I don't know about winning it all but with the year he had, he should be a finalist.

            Ralph doesn't go anywhere.

            Thanks for asking, I'll be there.
            Keep an open mind. Just don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

              Sorry I didn't mean to leave any other RPI fans out. I just want to meet the king of posting on USCHO!

                That's almost true. I did go to Orlando a few years ago.

                          Polacek is the ECAC PotY and a Hobey Finalist http://www.troyrecord.com/articles/2...c120069067.txt.

                          D'Amigo is the ECAC RotY http://www.troyrecord.com/articles/2...5639674898.txt.

                          D’Amigo hopes he and the other four RPI freshmen can improve their rookie performances and said, "all five of us are coming back," softening any fear RPI fans may have that D’Amigo and/or Pirri, National Hockey League draft picks, may turn pro next season.


                          Congrats to both.

                              Question Ralph: when will we know who wins the Hobey? Is it immediately after the Championship or is there a specific date?

                                It certainly is a good day
                                Congratulation to Polacek and D'Amigo. They earned it. I'm excited for the fall. I can't wait to pick the ECAC standings for next season
