UConn men’s hockey’s Jachym Kondelik and Ryan Tverberg have been named candidates for the Hobey Baker Award, which goes to the best player in college hockey each season. Schools can submit at least three players to the initial list.
Previously, just four Huskies have ever been named candidates. Jonny Evans made the list of 50 players last season while Adam Huska, Max Letunov, and Tage Thompson were selected back in 2017.
Tverberg is in the midst of a breakout sophomore season, leading UConn with nine goals and 17 points this season. At times, he’s carried the Huskies’ offense, like when he recorded 10 points (six goals, four assists) over the course of just six games in the first half.
