Scott Perunovich, a junior defenseman from Minnesota Duluth, has won the 2020 Hobey Baker Award, given annually to the top NCAA men's ice hockey player.
"I'm extremely honored and humbled to be this year's Hobey Baker Award recipient," Perunovich said during an interview with SportsCenter.
Perunovich is the sixth Minnesota Duluth player to win the Hobey Baker Award, joining defenseman Tom Kurvers (1984), right wing Bill Watson (1985), left wing Chris Marinucci (1994), right wing Junior Lessard (2004) and center Jack Connolly (2012).
Perunovich called it a "privilege to join them."
A vote by all 60 Division I hockey head coaches and fan balloting created a field of 10 finalists for the award.
