Michigan`s hockey history
Michigan’s hockey history the hobey baker memorial award Brendan Morrison - 1997 Brendan Morrison poses with head coach Red Berenson at the 1997 Hobey Baker Award presentation, which was held at the Frozen Four in Milwaukee, Wis. U-M’s senior captain tallied 31 goals and 57 assists -- a U-M single-season record -- to lead the nation in scoring. Brendan’s Last Title - Paul Dodd, The Wolverine There was really not much else Brendan Morrison could have done in his career as a Michigan hockey player. The Pitt Meadows, B.C., native was the most valuable player of this or named to the all-tournament team of that in his four years at U-M. He had become the school’s all-time scoring and assist leader. He led the nation in scoring not once, but twice. Morrison’s best performances were in the most crucial situations from the start of his career to its finish. In his first NCAA Tournament game, he assistedn on all four Michigan goals. The last time he was on the ice for the Wolverines, he scored a futile goal in the final minute with his team’s goaltender on the bench. In between, Morrison also gave Michigan hockey fans their finest moment in 33 years, scooping Bill Muckalt’s rebound over Colorado College goaltender Ryan Bach in overtime of the 1996 NCAA Championship game to give U-M its first national hockey crown since 1964. A year later, in a hotel ballroom jam-packed with the most rabid Michigan hockey fans and college hockey followers from all over the nation, Morrison provided his legions with one last fond memory by accepting the Hobey Baker Memorial Award as the country’s outstanding collegiate hockey player. “It really is humbling to be recognized for such a prestigious award.” said Morrison, clearly nervous at the turnout estimated at more than 1,000. “I want to thank the University of Michigan for providing me the opportunity to attend such a fine institution, both academically and athletically.” George Konic, the chairman of the Hobey Baker Award Committee, could hardly say Morrison’s name over the din when he announced that the winner was “a three-year finalist for the Hobey Baker, from the University of Michigan ...” The vocal U-M partisans knew the name well enough. For the last two months, whenever Morrison would get a goal or an assist, Michigan fans began rhythmically chanting “Ho-bey Ba-ker.” Always one to put his team’s welfare first, the Michigan captain became commonly known as “Hobey” by his teammates, who loved watching the modest center squirm at the extra attention. “They’ve been joking around about the award, and now that it actually happened, it’s unbelievable,” said Morrison. 76 Hobey Baker Memorial Award Recipients Year 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 Name Neal Broten George McPhee Mark Fusco Tom Kurvers Bill Watson Scott Fusco Tony Hrkac Robb Stauber Lane MacDonald Kip Miller David Emma Scott Pellerin Paul Kariya Chris Marinucci Brian Holzinger Brian Bonin Brendan Morrison Chris Drury Jason Krog Mike Mottau Ryan Miller Jordan Leopold Peter Sejna Junior Lessard Marty Sertich Matt Carle Ryan Duncan Kevin Porter School Minnesota Bowling Green Harvard Minnesota-Duluth Minnesota-Duluth Harvard North Dakota Minnesota Harvard Michigan State Boston College Maine Maine Minnesota-Duluth Bowling Green Minnesota Michigan Boston University New Hampshire Boston College Michigan State Minnesota Colorado College Minnesota-Duluth Colorado College Denver North Dakota Michigan Michigan’s Hockey History the hobey baker memorial award The Hobey Baker Story The Hobey Baker Memorial Award is presented to the outstanding college hockey player in the United States by the Decathlon Athletic Club of Bloomington, Minn. The idea for the Hobey Baker Award was conceived by then Decathlon Athletic Club chief executive officer Chuck Bard, who modeled the award after college football’s Heisman Trophy. Club directors gave the final go-ahead on Jan. 4, 1980. Bard, with assistance from Walter Bush, then president of the Minnesota North Stars, and Roger Godin of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame, narrowed down a list of candidates after whom to name the award. The final list included hockey immortals Moose Goheen, Frank Brimsek, John Mariucci and Hobey Baker. The name and exploits of Baker intrigued Bard, who contacted Princeton for more information. Bard also contacted the present day Hobey Baker, a nephew of the award’s namesake who resided in New York, and granted permission to use the name. Baker was the captain of Princeton’s hockey and football teams from 1910-14. He was a charter member of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame and was one of a handful of Americans inducted into Canada’s Hockey Hall of Fame. Baker is best known for his outstanding sportsmanship. He was only penalized once in his collegiate career and always visited the opposition’s locker room after a game. The trophy was designed, the sponsor set and the committee enlarged. The first banquet was April 1, 1981. Neal Broten of Minnesota won the first award, and Gordie Howe delivered a memorable speech. Since then, the award has become recognized as U.S. college hockey’s premier individual honor. As such, it has helped promote U.S. college hockey, the skills needed to play the game and the ideals for which the original Hobey Baker lived and died.

The Wolverine captain scored 33 goals and 30 assists to finish second on the national scoring list. Winning the Hobey, Humbly - Nate Sandals, The Michigan Daily Kevin Porter never wanted to be in the spotlight this season, but in the end, there was no question he earned it. Porter’s work ethic and skill set him apart on the ice. But in street clothes, he’s just a normal kid, and that’s what makes him such a special winner. As the nation’s scoring leader for most of the season, Porter received more media attention than he knew what to do with. Most players would have gotten a big head. If anything, Porter shrunk from the spotlight when it shone brightest. “It’s kind of an old-school thing, but it’s great to see a young player in today’s era of so much publicity and so much attention just remain humble,” Michigan coach Red Berenson said. If there were a Heisman Trophy winner walking around campus, everyone would turn and stare as he passed by on the Diag. But for his four years at Michigan, Porter has remained an anonymous face in Ann Arbor. Maybe you’ve sat next to him in class. Chances are you didn’t know it. More people on this campus could recognize Porter if they saw him today than last week, but he would prefer if you didn’t mention it. Porter somehow managed to put together a superhuman season on the ice and remain as normal as anyone else off it. Porter’s not superhuman. He’s just like the rest of us - except he happens to be the best college hockey player in the country. In being quiet and unassuming, all while being the Hobey Baker winner, Porter exemplifies what a student-athlete should be. Today, too many superstar college athletes set themselves apart from the rest of campus. They know they’re important, and they act like it. Porter has never been that way. In interviews, he rarely talks about himself but loves the chance to talk about his teammates. When he walks into class, he quietly sits down and pays attention. No heads turn. For many Michigan students and fans, their lasting image of Porter will be the staged photo of him holding his Hobey trophy, with a smile forced across his face. But look at the person next to you in class right now. That should be the picture you see when you think of Porter. The quiet kid going about his business - on and off the ice - doing the best he can every day, and hoping no one will notice. 77 Michigan’s hockey history Michigan All-Americans Over Michigan hockey’s 86-year history, Wolverine players have always grasped the team-first mentality. A select group of individuals, however, have demonstrated on-ice brilliance worthy of special mention. Following the 1947-48 hockey season, Wally Gacek, Wally Grant and Connie Hill earned the Wolverines’ first All-America honors en route to capturing the program’s first NCAA hockey championship. A total of 61 players have received this prestigious honor a total of 83 times. Fifty players have received All-America first team recognition and 11 have picked up second team honors. In 2007, U-M placed two players on the first team (T.J. Hensick, Jack Johnson) for the first time since 2002 (Mike Cammalleri, Mike Komisarek). With Matt Hunwick earning second team honors, the Wolverines had their first trio of All-Americans since 2001 (Andy Hilbert-first team, Mike Cammalleri-second team, Jeff Jillson-second team). A Wolverine has earned All-America recognition in 14 out of the last 17 seasons. Other highlights in the history of Michigan’s All-Americans includes the four Wolverines (Brendan Morrison-first team, John Madden-first team, Marty Turco-first team and Jason Botterill-second team) from the 1996-97 team to earn All-America status.

Michigan had been outplayed by Minnesota, but Legg’s goal tied the game 7:06 into the second period and provided his team with a new burst of energy. Six days later, Michigan won the national title and Legg, with his game-tying goal in the third period against Colorado College, would enhance his legendary status. The goal received unheard of attention around the sporting world. Legg’s goal won an ESPY for “Outrageous Play of the Year,” and he traveled to New York on Feb. 10, 1997, for the black-tie award ceremonies which was televised nationally on ESPN. The goal had earlier won the 1996 “Play of the Year” by TSN and the 1996 “Goal of The Year” by Inside Hockey, a Swedish Hockey Magazine. Legg traveled to Stockholm and received his award at a banquet Aug. 8, 1996. Media coverage was unprecedented. The night of the goal, CNN’s Headline News showed it regularly on its sports updates every half hour, ESPN’s National Hockey Night chose Legg’s goal as the MCI Play of the Night and CNN Sports Tonight chose it as the Play of the Day. The goal was part of The Albert Achievement Awards on the Late Show With David Letterman and was also shown on Hockey Night in Canada on CBC. The sequence was captured in feature stories by USA Today, The Detroit News, The Boston Globe, The Minneapolis Star Tribune, The St. Paul Pioneer Press, The Wolverine, The Ann Arbor News, The Michigan Daily, The Hockey News, U.S. College Hockey Magazine, Hockey Player Magazine and Drop The Puck Weekly Update. Mike Legg cradles the puck onto his stick blade, skates out in front, flips in a shot and sends the hockey world into a frenzy. 83 Michigan’s hockey history Great Lakes Invitational Forty-four years ago, four men brainstormed for a way to bring more Americanborn players into the National Hockey League. They surmised that a prestigious tournament could make a difference: it would stress the quality of competition, both to develop the players and to attract NHL eyes. Out of this vision, these four men - Lincoln Cavalieri, general manager of Olympia Stadium; John MacInnes, Michigan Tech’s legendary coach and former Michigan goalie; Detroit Red Wings scout Jack Paterson; and Jack Tompkins, American Airlines Vice President and former Michigan netminder - created the Great Lakes Invitational College Hockey Tournament in 1965. Before a crowd of 5,929 fans at Olympia Stadium in downtown Detroit, the University of Toronto claimed the first GLI title. The other inaugural year participants were Boston University, Colorado College and host Michigan Tech. In 1974, the University of Michigan joined Michigan Tech as tournament co-host, and in 1979 the GLI relocated from Olympia Stadium to Joe Louis Arena. Michigan State has joined U-M and Tech in the four-team field every year since 1979. The John A. MacInnes Trophy, aptlynamed to honor the co-founder, has been presented to the tournament champion and its MVP since its introduction in 1993. The Great Lakes Invitational has helped develop both the caliber of play and the popularity of college hockey. More than one million fans have attended the holiday tournament since its inception. Twenty-nine schools, including such nationally respected programs as Wisconsin, North Dakota, Maine and Boston College have participated at one point or another. The founders’ mission has been accomplished, as hundreds of Canadian- and American-born collegians who participate in the GLI have gone on to play in the NHL. 84 On Dec. 29, 2007, the Wolverines knocked off Michigan Tech 1-0 in double overtime to capture their first Great Lakes Invitational title since 1996. The Wolverines have won 12 GLI titles since the tournament’s inception in 1965, the most by any team.

Since 1973-74, Yost Ice Arena has hosted over three million fans who have helped make it one of the most exciting and intimidating venues in college hockey. The atmosphere has helped Michigan on the ice significantly. In 200304, Michigan was 19-3 at home – setting the school record for most home wins in a season. In the last 10 seasons, Michigan owns a record of 153-37-11 (.789) at home. On five occasions, Yost has hosted NCAA tournament action. In addition to hosting tournament games in 1976-77 and 199091, the West Regional was held in Ann Arbor at the end of the 1997-98 and the 2001-02 seasons, while the Midwest Regional was held at Yost in 2002-03. In 1998, Michigan won a pair of games – including a 4-3 come-from-behind victory over the defending national champions, North Dakota – to advance to the Frozen Four where the Wolverines won their NCAArecord ninth national champi- onship. In 2002, again Michigan won a pair of games at Yost to advance to the Frozen Four. In 2003, U-M was the only non-No. 1 seed to advance to the NCAA Frozen Four, toppling Maine and Colorado College on its home ice. Yost Ice Arena is one of the most unique arenas in college hockey because it retains the charm of an old barn, but When construction was finished on Yost Field House in November, 1923, it offers the amenities became the nation's first field house. In 1973, Yost Ice Arena became the of the most mod- home of Michigan Hockey. Since 1996, over $11 million has been spent to ern of arenas.

The new second floor varsity area houses a well-appointed locker room and training area/weight room suite used exclusively by the Michigan hockey team. Second floor renovations also created a new concourse, complete with arena administrative offices, improved restroom and concession facilities and an elevator. Upgraded press facilities boast an enviable center ice vantage point and offer some of the finest media accommodations in the country. The facility underwent a $1.4 millon renovation during the summer of 2001, which created a new balcony directly across from the press box that juts out over existing stands and provides nearly 300 new seats. In the entrance to the new seating level is a lounge that opens up onto a platform in the northeast corner of the arena and overlooks the ice. A new stairwell, new restrooms and a kitchen to serve hot food in the new seating area were also added to improve the amenities entering and exiting the ice easier for both teams. Built in 1924 as a field house, the structure was named in honor of Michigan’s legendary football coach and athletic director, Fielding H. Yost. Before being converted to an ice arena in 1973, the building housed the great track teams of the 1950s and the Cazzie Russell-led basketball teams of the mid-1960s. Although no one can fill Yost to capacity (6,637) quite like the Wolverines, a number of others, including local high school teams and recreational leagues call it home. 89 Michigan’s hockey history The True Impact of Yost Ice Arena’s Fans “The crowd really energizes you and gives you an extra jump in your step. They really get behind us. It’s a fun atmosphere to play in. It has to be intimidating for the other team to have to come in and play here.” – former Michigan captain and Hobey Baker Award winner Brendan Morrison “The teams are already down two goals when they come into this place. It’s a pretty ruthless crowd. When you play for Michigan, in their eyes, you can do no wrong.
