The 10 finalists for the trophy, given to the the top NCAA men's ice hockey player, will be announced March 16, followed by the selection of the final three, the Hobey Hat Trick, on March 31.
The winner will be revealed April 8, the day between the Frozen Four semifinals and the national championship game.
To make the wait go a little faster, here's a Hobey six pack -- On Campus' selection of the most deserving candidate from each of the Division I conferences.
Atlantic Hockey: Colin Bilek, Army
The senior forward is Army's captain and leads Atlantic Hockey with 31 points (11 goals, 20 assists) in 33 games.
"From the first day that he got to post, I knew that Colin had the 'it' factor," coach Brian Riley said. "By that I mean he had the word 'leader' written all over him. That is why I think he is such a good fit for West Point and why West Point is such a good fit for him. His passion, energy and team-first attitude has shined since the start and is something everyone has taken notice of.''
The 24-year-old has not been drafted by an NHL team.
Big Ten: Matty Beniers , Michigan
The sophomore, who played for the United States in the 2022 Beijing Olympics, is a two-way center who is as close to NHL-ready as any player in college hockey.
The 19-year-old was selected by the Seattle Kraken with the No. 2 pick in the 2021 NHL Draft.
Beniers leads the Big Ten in scoring with 37 points (17 goals, 20 assists) in 30 games.
Central Collegiate Hockey Association: Nathan Smith , Minnesota State
Before leaving to play for the U.S. in the Beijing Olympics, the junior center was leading the nation in scoring.
The 23-year-old, who who played high school hockey in Florida, is second in NCAA scoring nationally with 44 points (17 goals, 27 assists) in 30 games, six points behind Bobby Brink of the University of Denver, who has played two more games.
Smith was selected by the Winnipeg Jets in the third round (No. 91) of the 2018 NHL Draft.
Eastern College Athletic Conference: Zach Metsa, Quinnipiac
A senior defenseman, Metsa has shown tremendous improvement since his freshman year.
Undrafted, he has been dominant this season with 34 points (nine goals, 25 assists) in 36 games and is on the radar of many NHL teams as a potential free-agent signing this spring.
The 23-year-old leads the ECAC in scoring and his plus-33 rating is tied for best in the nation. He's one of three three finalists for the ECAC best defensive defenseman award.
Hockey East: Devon Levi , Northeastern
The sophomore is making a strong case to become the third goalie to win the Hobey Baker Award and join Ryan Miller of Michigan State in 2001 and Robb Stauber of Minnesota in 1988.
With a record of 18-8-1 with nine shutouts, the 20-year-old has been dominant all season. His .951 save percentage second in the nation to Yaniv Perets of Quinnipiac (.955), and his 1.52 goals-against average is third behind Perets (0.82) and Dryden McKay (1.24) of Minnesota State (1.24).
Levi's NHL rights are held by the Buffalo Sabres, who acquired him in trade with the Florida Panthers along with a first-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft for forward Sam Reinhart on July 24, 2021. Levi was chosen by the Panthers in the seventh round of the 2020 NHL Draft.
National Collegiate Hockey Conference: Bobby Brink , Denver
Brink -- his full name is Bobby Orr Brink -- has emerged as an explosive offensive player in his junior season, playing for one of the best teams in the country.
The 20-year-old forward leads the NCAA in scoring with 50 points (13 goals, 37 assists) in 32 games. His average of 1.56 points per game is the best in the nation.
