It didn’t come as a surprise to anyone, but Colorado Avalanche’s star defensive prospect Cale Makar was among the ten NCAA players named as finalists for the Hobey Baker Award on Wednesday.
Honored and proud, but can’t say we’re surprised…
Congratulations to @Cmakar16, the second @HobeyBakerAward Top 10 Finalist in program history
