Men’s National Awards
Hobey Baker Award
For more than 40 years, the Hobey Baker Memorial Award has celebrated the best in college hockey, being awarded to a player who combines excellence on the ice with strength of character.
In 2024, Boston University freshman forward Macklin Celebrini was named the recipient of both the 2024 Hobey Baker Memorial Award, given annually to the best player in NCAA Division I men’s hockey, and the Tim Taylor National Rookie of the Year Award, repeating the feat achieved last year by then-Michigan freshman Adam Fantilli.
Past winners include Cale Makar, Jack Eichel, Johnny Gaudreau, Ryan Miller, Chris Drury, Brendan Morrison and 2017 Hockey Hall of Famer Paul Kariya.
Three finalists are selected from an initial list of ten candidates by the 23-member Selection Committee and an additional round of online fan balloting to determine the Hobey Baker winner. Criteria for the award includes: displaying outstanding skills in all phases of the game, strength of character on and off the ice, sportsmanship and scholastic achievements.
Hobey Baker was the legendary Princeton hockey player known as America’s greatest amateur athlete more than 100 years ago. He redefined how the game was played with his coast-to-coast dashes in an era when hockey was contested with seven players and no forward passes. Baker died testing a repaired aircraft at the end of World War I after he had completed his military service.
