Jack. Eichel. Hobey. Baker.
Two great things that go great together.
If Jack Eichel doesn't win the 2015 Hobey Baker Award, then the voters should have to submit a urine sample to be analyzed for illegal drugs .
Seriously.
Eichel is the bomb. He is the odds-on favorite to win the prestigious Hobey Baker Memorial Award, which is awarded annually to the top college hockey player in the USA.
Eichel enters tonight's Beanpot Championship game with 49 points in 29 games.
At present, Eichel is ranked the #2 draft eligible prospect in the world by Central Scouting Service (CSS) and International Scouting Servce (ISS).
Boston University has produced this very cool Hobey Baker campaign video featuring Eichel.
BU has also created this cool “I Like Ike… campaign buttons to distribute to its raucous, loyal fans.
Eichel is leading BU into it's first Beanpot title since 2009.
