MADISON, Wis. — For just the second time in Wisconsin men’s hockey history, a Badger has won the Hobey Baker Award.
Cole Caufield was voted the best in NCAA Division 1 men’s ice hockey on Friday night and really there wasn’t any competition. This season the Stevens Point native lead the nation in goals (30), points (52), and power-play points (24) and was named the Big Ten Player of the Year.
On March 27, Caufield signed a three-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens to begin his professional hockey career. In two seasons at Wisconsin he tallied 49 goals, 39 assists, and 88 points in 67 games.
