The Tampa Bay Lightning have never had one of their prospects named as the best player in college hockey. That could change this year as two players in their system are among the finalists for The Hobey Baker Award. The process begins with the head coaches of NCAA programs nominating the top players in their league as well as the top three players in the nation.
As part of the process, fans can also vote for their selection. Right now, Tampa Bay Lightning fans can go out and cast their vote for Issac Howard from Michigan State or Alex Gagne from the University of New Hampshire.
