Am I the only one here that gets sick of only hearing about Platt, Adrian, St Thomas, Hameline, Elmira, Midd & Norwich?
Does anyone else have something to say about another team? How about this... Wilkes Goalie... 1st Team?
So I’m looking at stats...Wilkes played 16 games. Ally Jolly played in 14 and the other played in 10, which means the first goaltender played 4 full games. She has a save % of .912 and a GAA of 4.77. Wilkes played 1 team with a winning record, Utica, and got beat 8-0., 3-0.
What first team should she be on?

I have to think Granato is the favorite for the Laura Hurd at this point. Torpy and Moriarty certainly have arguments, but I think it’s Granato’s unless something unexpected happen between now an championship weekend.

With the finalists always coming from the conference POYs, the pool will be:
NCHA: Rachel Anderson - F - SO - CSS
NESCAC: Meghan Halloran - F - SO - Williams
NEHC: Amanda Conway - F - JR - Norwich
CHC: Mel McAleer - F - SO - Nichols
WIAC: ??? (I'm going to guess Courtney Wittig - F - SR - UW- Eau Claire)
MIAC: Kenzie Torpy - G - SR - St. Thomas
UCHC: Katie Granato - F - SO - Elmira College
I think if they were doing this season only or a mix of career and season, Granato is the favorite. If they go solely by career, Moriarty should be favored as she has the same amount of conference championships (3 with a chance at 4 this weekend), 11 more career points, more trips to championship weekend and two NCAA championship rings to Granato's 0.

Definitely a great group of players to choose from. Whomever gets selected from the WIAC will certainly be a deserving choice as well. A name missing from the discussion is Bre Simon who is currently the overall point leader in the country, but did not not get POY from the conference. She crushes over half of the offensive field in this list. Will be interesting to see who gets the award. Whomever it is I say congrats! And to whomever does not win, I say congrats on being a finalist. You are amazing players!

Have to agree with this sentiment. Simon has 142 points in 3 seasons.
And I really wish you guys would've put up the MIAC Honorable mentions... Sorry, just being a hockey dad.

My hypothesis is that given that the conference POYs become the finalists for what is a de facto career award, conference voters lean towards their top seniors to push them forward for the Laura Hurd Award. I certainly raised an eyebrow at two of the selections on this list.
Barring something unexpected, Simon and Conway will be the favorites for the 2020 trophy.
Who do we think will earn the all american awards now that almost all the conference awards have been given? The east is in a disadvantage as they have more teams and conferences. The west only has 3 conference for all Americans to be decided from.... anyone else thinking this?

They have a first and second team for both Eastern and Western regions so there's not going to be does the West get more than the East.
My guesses:
East:
F: Katie Granato - Elmira
F: Courtney Moriarty or Annie Katonka - Plattsburgh
F: Amanda Conway - Norwich
D: Hannah Kiraly - Plattsburgh
D: Meg Lahey - Elmira
G: Kassi Abbott of Plattsburgh or Stephanie Martin of Elmira
There's likely to be a NESCAC player replacing someone above, probably Halloran of Williams.
West:
F - Bre Simon - Hamline
F - Rachel Anderson - CSS
F - Courtney Wittig - UW-Eau Claire or Leah Schwartzman - Hamline
D - Dani Perry - Hamline
D - Holly Turnbull - UW-Eau Claire or Haley Nielsen - UW-River Falls
G - Kenzie Torpy - St. Thomas

In the West, I think that Demi Cooper - St. Thomas, could fill one of the D spots.
