Mar 19, 2014 | Hockey
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Junior forward Josh Archibald has been named a Top 10 Finalist for the Hobey Baker Award, given annually to the top Division I college hockey player.
Archibald is the second Maverick to make the top 10 in as many years, joining teammate Ryan Walters who was a top 10 finalist last season.
Archibald led the Mavericks in scoring in 2013-14 with 29 goals and 14 assists for 43 points. He set a new school record and career best for goals in a season and ranked second nationally in goals at the time the Mavericks' season ended.
Archibald set a school record with two hat tricks this season and is the only player in school history with three career hat tricks.
The native of Brainerd, Minn. was a three-time Bauer NCHC Offensive Player of the Week and was named the Hockey Commissioner's Association Player of the Month for February after leading the country with 10 goals and 16 points.
Archibald was the leading vote getter for the NCHC All-Conference First Team and is a finalist for the conference's player of the year and forward of the year awards. Those announcements will be made at a banquet kicking off the NCHC Frozen Faceoff in Minneapolis later on Thursday.
The Top 10 list is compiled from balloting from all 59 Division I college hockey head coaches and by an on-line fan ballot. The Top Ten list now will be voted on by the 27-member Selection Committee and a second round of fan balloting to be held from March 20 – 30 to determine the Hobey Hat Trick of three finalists for this year's Hobey Baker Award. The Hobey Hat Trick will be announced on April 2.
The Hobey Baker Award Announcement will come on Friday, April 11 at 6 p.m. ET from Philadelphia, Pa., the site of this year's NCAA Frozen Four Championship.
