The Draft Analyst: Rangers prospect Morgan Barron named Hobey Baker Award finalist

Cornell left wing Morgan Barron, a sixth-round pick of the Rangers in 2017, was named one of the 10 finalists for the 2020 Hobey Baker Memorial Award honoring college hockey’s top player.

College Player of the Year Finalist

Barron, a junior who turned 21 in December, also is the first Cornell forward to make the ECAC’s First All-Star Team in consecutive seasons since Hockey Hall-of-Famer Joe Nieuwendyk did so in 1986 and 1987.

A big-bodied forward and team captain who plays a 200-foot game, Barron led the Big Red in scoring in each of the last two seasons.
