PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Providence College men's hockey defenseman Jacob Bryson (London, Ont.) and forwards Scott Conway (Basingstoke, England) and Josh Wilkins (Raleigh, N.C.) have been nominated for the Hobey Baker Award, given annually to the top player in Division I men's hockey.
 
A returning All-American, co-captain Jacob Bryson ranks second among Hockey East defensemen in points (18). In total, he has tallied three goals and 15 assists this season with a plus-13 rating. The junior has recorded six multi-point games this season, including a career-high three assists at Denver on Nov. 24.
 
Conway leads the Friars with 12 goals this season and is tied for the most goals by an NCAA player since Dec. 1 with nine. The nine goals have come in Providence's last eight games, which include two multi-goal games over that span. He has posted totals of 12 goals, seven assists and 19 points this season for the Friars and sits nine points shy of 100 for his career.
 
Wilkins sits at eighth nationally in scoring with 26 points on nine goals and 17 assists. He has tallied a point in 13-consecutive games dating back to Nov. 10, which is the longest point streak in the NCAA this season. Over that stretch, he has totaled seven goals and 12 assists. Wilkins leads all Hockey East players in scoring with 26 points and is tied with teammate Jack Dugan for the Hockey East lead in assists with 17.
 
Fan voting for the Hobey Baker Award is now live and will run through March 10. Phase two of fan voting will begin on March 20 after the announcement of the top-10 nominees. The Hobey Hat Trick finalists will be revealed on April 4 with the winner being announced on April 12 at the Frozen Four in Buffalo, N.Y.
