I think so...the Hobey Baker Award *weekend* actually takes place after
the season is over.  The announcement is what takes place at the final
four; the actual awarding of the trophy and honoring of the winner
happens in Minnesota a week or two later.
 
Also, the all-star game cannot be held until after the last game of
the season is played (so it cannot be played before the national
championship game).  This is because players cannot play for more than
one team in a season, and there is no exemption allowing players to
appear in a college all-star game.  Seniors can play in the game
because their college careers have ended by that time.
