Schreiber and Valery-Trabucco nominated for Hobey Baker Award

A few days ago senior defenseman Mike Schreiber and senior forward Mario Valery-Trabucco were nominated for the Hobey Baker award: the hockey equivalent of the Heisman Trophy. This is a tremendous honor and both are well deserving. Schreiber is the anchor of the Dutchmen defense and is one of the top defensemen in the ECAC. The senior assistant captain is currently tied for third on the team with 18 points (5g, 13a) and leads all ECAC defensemen in points, assists, and leads all ECAC players in plus/minus (+19). He is only one of 13 defensemen nominated for the Hobey Baker award. Mario has been one of the most prolific scorers in the ECAC this season as he has registered 26 points in 20 games. He is second in the ECAC in points, tied for second in goals (12), and leads all forwards with a +15 rating.

To vote for them go to the Hobey Baker Website. They will need tons of support to make it to the next round of fan voting. Oh and just for your information, RPI's Chase Polacek is currently second in the voting with over 1000 votes. Last season BU's Matt Gilroy, who is now with the New York Rangers, won the award.
