Freshman forward Adam Fantilli (Michigan) is the winner of the 2023 Hobey Baker Memorial Award as the top player in NCAA Division I men's hockey.
Fantilli, 18, from Nobleton, Ont., led all Division I skaters with 65 points this season, and tied for the national lead with 30 goals while finishing fourth with 35 assists. He is the first player from Michigan to win the Hobey Baker Award since 2008, the third Wolverine ever to do so, and the third freshman overall to be so honored since the award's inception in 1981. He also tallied at least one point in 33 of the 36 games he played this year.
The 6-foot-2 Fantilli, who is eligible for this year's NHL Draft, scored Michigan's final goal of the 2022-23 season in its 5-2 NCAA Frozen Four semifinal loss to Quinnipiac in Tampa on Thursday night. He finished the campaign on a seven-game point-scoring streak, in which he recorded 10 goals and five assists for 15 points, while helping the Wolverines to a 26-12-3 overall record, the Big Ten tournament title, and the NCAA Allentown (Pa.) Regional championship.
