The Hobey Baker Award, which annually honors the top player in college hockey, is down to 10 finalists, and it has a very state of Michigan feel.
Three of the 10, unveiled Wednesday, hail from universities in Michigan: Adam Fantilli, a forward from Michigan; Blake Pietila, a Michigan Tech goaltender from Howell; and Jason Polin, a right wing from Holt who plays at Western Michigan. Lane Hutson, a Boston University defenseman who is from Holland, also is a finalist.
Fantilli (0.84 goals per game) and Polin (0.76) are the nation's top two scorers in terms of goals per game.
