The honors keep piling up for Morgan Barron. The 21-year old center had an outstanding season for Cornell, the top ranked team in the nation. He was just named the ECHC Player of the Year, two days after being announced as a one of 10 finalists for the Hobey Baker Award.
An elite playmaker. A dynamic goal-scorer. A relentless back-checker. There was nobody better than Morgan Barron this season.
Congratulations to the @CUBigRedHockey junior on being named #ECACHockey Player of the Year
