I'm not sure, since Mike did not mention the other years, but I had
thought that until 1989* one of the ten finalists for the Hobey (in
the "university divison") was the winner of the DivII-III award (in
the "college divison").  Mike did mention East and West winners at
the DivII-II level, so it may be that one of the two was further
honored by being selected as a Hobey finalist in the "university
divison".
 
I make no claims to any of the above being even remotely true, as I
have only have my memory to guide me on the matter.
 
* I say 1989 since Mike mentioned Merrimack's Jim Vesey won for the
"college divison-East" in 1988, even though the school was a DivI
independent.
