Cole Caufield Wins 2021 Hobey Baker Award
The Hobey Baker Memorial Award Committee announced today the 2021 recipient
of college hockey’s top individual prize is Cole Caufield from the
University of Wisconsin. The announcement came during a live broadcast on
NHL Network and hobeybaker.com
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001O2PZvhB-iHUCEW9ZdIUTuU0tijCBGCJfkRojWsvETUYBT36ndwa95UXncN2WuX5JyHjkPjyYWb-reNrRdqo4TxlLAuAuvriRgvU9d5ZXVzgrrkKB6Z2ndtCB1qb9I2RutdPpDsvSHT_P4rRp8EL-BQ==&c=fR8Z72fxzDWSvjrWbYATJNgVEFY1Op2v8p_3qJo5ySe3bvmYiQhGSg==&ch=XMbXA_qDF78ARW5Ub_Ij1r39SKV716IvKzrPtqYQsQXKax92Q88F6Q==>

Known as a prolific scorer, Caufield soared to the top of the national
scoring charts, leading the nation in total points, producing 30 goals and
22 assists for 52 points in 31 games. Additionally, he led the nation in a
multitude of key offensive categories: most goals, averaging almost a goal
per game; most power play points (24); most power play goals (11); most
shots on goal (165); most shots per game (average 5.3 shots per game); and
averaging 1.68 points per game.
In the eight-year history of the Big Ten hockey conference, Caufield became
the first player to win back-to-back scoring titles and was honored as the
Big Ten’s Player of the Year and First Team all-conference. The sophomore
forward from Stevens Point, Wisconsin finished his Badger career with a
flurry, recording 15 multiple point games in his final 18 contests. Even in
Wisconsin’s 6-3 loss to Bemidji in the opening game of the recent
Bridgeport NCAA Regional, Cole chipped in with two goals and an assist
while pounding out 13 shots on goal.
Caufield’s great hands and excellent shot are complemented by his innate
ability to find open ice to set himself up for quality scoring chances. He
was a first-round draft choice (15th overall in 2019) of the Montreal
Canadiens and recently signed a pro contract with Montreal. Caufield
reported to their American Hockey League affiliate, Laval Rocket, and
played his first professional game the same night he was announced as the 41
st recipient of the Hobey Baker Award.
Caufield becomes the second Wisconsin Badger to win the Hobey after Blake
Geoffrion in 2010. Caufield played for Team USA for each of the past two
World Junior championships and helped them to a gold medal in 2021. He has
also represented his county in an additional six international tournaments,
including tying Alexander Ovechkin's tournament goal-scoring record of 14
goals at the 2019 IIHF Under-18 World Championship in Sweden. As a two-year
member of the U.S. National Team Development Program, he shattered
goal-scoring records for single-season (Auston Matthews - 55) and career
goals (Phil Kessel - 104) with 72 and 126, respectively. Cole has an older
brother Brock who also plays for the Wisconsin Badgers.
Hobey Baker was the legendary Princeton (1914) hockey player known as
America’s greatest amateur athlete over one hundred years ago. He redefined
how the game was played with his coast-to-coast dashes in an era when
hockey was contested by seven players and no forward passes. Baker, a
member of the U.S. Army’s Air Corp, died testing a repaired aircraft at the
end of World War I after he had completed his military service. The Hobey
Baker Award criteria includes: displaying outstanding skills in all phases
of the game, strength of character on and off the ice, sportsmanship and
scholastic achievements. Caufield was selected from a group of ten
finalists by a 30-member selection committee and online fan balloting.
