Tell your mother not to worry. The Hobey was contrived in Minnesota
and although the selection process is not tilted in the West's favor,
they have managed to garner 10 of 16 in the Hobey's history. In fact,
both the Univ. of Minnesota and Univ. of Minnesota-Duluth have each
individually matched the totals from the other three conferences.
 
Whether or not that will mean accolades for Morrison remains to be
seen. Jokingly, I'd worry more about Brendan competing with a Minnesotan
rather than an "Eastern" player. Visit the Hobey Site mentioned below
and you'll see that the process contrived by The Decathalon Club in
Bloomington, Minn. is actually quite fair and holds no regional biases.
By the way, the front page of the Hobey Site is currently featuring
Todd White of Clarkson, but from what I understand, this feature is
rotating amongst the prime candidates.
 
League breakdown of Hobey winners.
WCHA - 7 (UM-3, UMD-3)
CCHA - 3
ECAC - 3 (Harvard - 3)
HockeyEast - 3
