>BG's Nelson Emerson is still having a good time with the Hartford >Whalers. He is the only person to be nominated 3 times for the Hobey. I may be mistaken, but I believe North Dakota's Greg Johnson was also a three-time finalist. Can anyone confirm or deny? As for Runners-up excelling, Johnson would be one. He was the runner-up to Kariya in 1993--Johnson's senior year--and is now a solid player with the Red Wings. As for Minnesota-Duluth going '3-for-3' in the Hobey with three finalists and three winners (Kurvers, Watson, and Marinucci): UMD has actually had six finalists....Norm Maciver, Derek Plante, and Brett Hull--all in the NHL--all were finalists as well.
