Mastrodonato Nominated for Hobey Baker Award

Canisius sophomore forward Keaton Mastrodonato has been chosen as a nominee for the 2021 Hobey Baker Award, foundation officials announced on Monday.
 
The Hobey Baker Award is awarded annually to top NCAA men's ice hockey player in the nation. Criteria include candidates exhibiting the exceptional character traits of the award's namesake, Hobey Baker. A legendary American hero, Baker was a World War I fighter pilot and was known as America's greatest amateur athlete in his day, excelling at hockey and football at Princeton University.
 
Award candidates must demonstrate strength of character both on and off the ice, contribute to the integrity of his team and display outstanding skills in all phases of the game. Consideration should be given to scholastic achievement and sportsmanship.  
 
A native of Powell River, British Columbia, Mastrodonato leads the Golden Griffins with three goals and two assists in five games played this season. He was named Atlantic Hockey Player of the Week on Jan. 5 after recording four points (2g, 2a) in a sweep of AHA foe Mercyhurst to open the 2021 calendar year.
 
The Hobey Baker fan-voting will run from now until Sunday, March 7 at midnight. College hockey fans can cast their vote by going to the voting website; https://www.hobeybaker.com/vote
 
Phase two of fan balloting will come from the list of Top Ten Hobey Baker finalists beginning March 18 and closing March 28. The fans' vote accounts for a full one percent of the total ballot in each phase in selecting this year's award recipient.
 
The 2021 Hobey Baker Award winner will be announced from a field of three Hobey Hat Trick finalists on Friday, April 9, 2021 during the NCAA Frozen Four Championship in Pittsburgh, Pa. The award ceremony will be broadcast nationally on NHL Network and streamed live at hobeybaker.com.
