Vote for Hobey

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Phase I of the 2016 Hobey Baker Award process begins today (Jan. 20) with the opening of fan voting on the award's official Facebook page. Providence sophomore defenseman Jake Walman (Toronto, Ontario) and junior goaltender Nick Ellis (Millersville, Md.) are the Friars' nominees this season.

Phase I voting takes place from January 20 – March 6 with the announcement of the Top-10 selections coming on March 16. Phase II fan voting will run from March 17-27 with the unveiling of the Hobey Hat Trick finalists coming on March 31. The 2016 Hobey Baker Award winner will be announced at the Frozen Four in Tampa on April 8.

Fans can cast one vote per day on the Vote for Hobey link above.

Jake Walman continues his strong sophomore campaign as he leads the nation's defensemen in goals (12), points (23), points per game (1.28), power play goals (7), and game-winning goals (4). Walman's season thus far has been highlighted by a six-point performance over two-games at Colgate back in October, where he notched four goals and netted the first hat trick by a Providence defenseman since 1991.

Nick Ellis has been stellar in between the pipes this year for the Friars as he has posted a 14-3-4 record thus far and ranks third in the Hockey East with a 2.11 goals-against average and .928 save percentage. The junior has allowed two or fewer goals in 13 games this season and has posted two shutouts. In December, he boasted a 0.99 goals-against average and .963 save percentage, netting himself Hockey East Goaltender of the Month recognition.
