There are some really good matchups on the schedule for the Blackhawks’ college prospects this weekend, and five players will have a little extra incentive to show well. Sam Rinzel, Ryan Greene, Dominic James, Aidan Thompson and freshman Sacha Boisvert were named nominees for the 2025 Hobey Baker Memorial Award on Wednesday (Friday for James). Which is awesome!
Big rivalries this weekend with BU facing BC, Providence getting UMass-Lowell and Denver visiting Minnesota-Duluth. But the games that will impact the polls the most will take place in East Lansing.
