This Monday, March 28, is the last chance for fans to cast their final ballot for the Hobey Baker Memorial award. The results of the fan vote will be counted, along with the votes of the Hobey Baker Selection Committee, to determine the recipient of this year's award.
BGSU's Jordan Sigalet is one of the 10 finalists for this award. Sigalet recently completed his student-athlete career at BGSU as a goaltender for the Falcon Hockey program by leading the Brown and Orange to its best season in a decade. The 6-foot, 172-pound Sigalet will go down as one of the best goalies ever to play at BGSU. He becomes just the sixth Falcon and the first goalie in the 36-year history of the program to be named a Hobey Baker Finalist.
Sigalet became the first Falcon goalie to be named a captain this year and finished No. 1 in the preliminary fan voting for the Hobey Baker Award last week, receiving over 85,000 on-line votes. He was one of three finalists for the CCHA Player of the Year award and ended this past season with a 16-12-3 record. He led all CCHA goalies with an average of 30.1 saves per game. Only five goaltenders nationally recorded more saves than the 963 shots he turned aside. He held 16 opponents to two goals or less and gave up one or fewer goals on 11 occasions this season. He was named CCHA Goalie of the Week twice this year.
The top three finalists will be announced as the Hobey Hat Trick on March 30. The 2005 Hobey Baker Award winner will be announced April 8 in Columbus, Ohio, the day before the championship game at the NCAA Frozen Four. The ceremony will take place at Nationwide Arena beginning at 2:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public. Festivities begin at 1 p.m. with the USCHO Town Hall, followed by the presentation of the Hockey Humanitarian Award.
