Michigan hockey's Adam Fantilli named a Hobey Baker Award finalist

The accolades continue to roll in for Michigan hockey forward Adam Fantilli.

A day after he was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year, the nation's leading scorer on Wednesday was named a finalist for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award, college hockey's version of the Heisman Trophy.

Fantilli, likely to be a early first-round pick in this summer's NHL draft, has scored 27 goals and has a nation's best 60 points through 32 games. He has at least one point in 29 games this season, all while taking a break from U-M's campaign to help Canada win the World Junior Championship.
