BUFFALO, N.Y. — The wins keep piling up for Massachusetts defenseman Cale Makar at the Frozen Four.
Some 16 hours after celebrating a 4-3 overtime victory over Denver in the semifinals, Makar won the Hobey Baker Memorial Award as the nation’s top player Friday.
“In my wildest dreams? Probably,” the sophomore said of the season he the Minutemen are enjoying. “But no. It’s definitely not something I thought could happen in two years.”
The one thing he wouldn’t mind getting was a little rest before UMass (31-9) prepares to play Minnesota Duluth (28-11-2) in the championship game Saturday night.
