I got this News Release the other day from the NCAA:
OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS ---Festivities surrounding the 1997 Division I
Ice Hockey Championship include the announcement of a 50th Anniversary
Team by the NCAA Division I Ice Hockey Committee.
The NCAA celebrates the championship's 50th Anniversary this year at
the Bradley Center, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, March 26-29.
Overall , 144 players (71 forwards, 36 defensemen and 37 goaltenders)
are listed on the ballot following nominations from current and past
collegiate head coaches. The criteria used to determine those
individuals nominated and subsequently listed on the ballot were based
on individual performance during the NCAA championship.
Ballots have been forwarded to all current Division I ice hockey
coaches, those coaches who participated in past championships and
current and former members of the NCAA Division I Ice Hockey
Committee. It is anticipated that the 50th Anniversary Team will be
announced in mid-February and then honored during the championship in
Milwaukee.

---end of release
My comments - A nice idea, but why use only performance during the
championships as a criteria and not overall performance? Because of
the criteria used, not all the Hobey Baker winners are nominated (nor
Hobey Baker, for that matter). You also get interesting developments
like Marty Turco but not Steve Shields getting nominated, etc. etc.
