The 10 Mr. Hockey finalists have been announced:
Dan DeLisle, Totino Grace(Minnesota-Duluth)
Marshall Everson, Edina (Harvard)
Ben Hanowski, Little Falls(St. Cloud)
Tyler Lapic, New Prague(Wisconsin)
Nick Leddy, Eden Prairie(Minnesota)
Anders Lee, Edina(Notre Dame)
Danny Matson, Holy Angels(North Dakota)
Zach Palmquist, South St. Paul(Minnesota State)
Tyler Pilick, Centennial(Minnesota State)
Max Tardy, Duluth East(Minnesota-Duluth)
I have to be honest, I have not seen everybody on this list play. I have seen most, but not all. My favorite to win is Nick Leddy. He not only is the best player in the state, but he projects as the best pro prospect. As we have seen in recent years, NHL scouts seem to have a lot of input in this award. However, Danny Matson is also having a great year, as has Ben Hanowski. If/when Hanowski breaks the all time scoring record, it would be tough to not consider him for the award, despite the lack of competition for him.
