ST. PAUL, Minn. (March 20) — Colorado College freshman goaltender Richard Bachman was named WCHA Player of the Year and WCHA Rookie of the Year — only the second player in the 56-year history of the conference to win both awards in one season — in honors announced Thursday at the conference’s annual awards banquet in St. Paul, Minn.
Bachman, a native of Highlands Ranch, Colo., is third nationally in goals-against average at 1.77, second in save percentage at .934, and tied for second in winning percentage at .783 (23-6-1). He was named to the All-WCHA First Team, was a two-time Hockey Commissioners’ Association National Rookie of the Month and garnered five WCHA weekly awards during the season. He joins former Wisconsin and current NHL goaltender Curtis Joseph (1988-89) as dual Rookie/Player of the Year winners.
Joining Bachman as a major award winner was teammate and senior defenseman Jack Hillen, the WCHA Defensive Player of the Year. Hillen, from Minnetonka, Minn., is the scoring co-leader nationally among defensemen with 33 points in 36 games and leads CC in plus-minus.
Minnesota State head coach Troy Jutting was named WCHA Coach of the Year for the second time. Previously honored in 2002-03, Jutting, a former Maverick player, led his club to a share of fourth place in the regular-season standings with a 12-12-4 league mark after starting the season 3-6-1.
Named as Outstanding Student-Athlete of the Year was Minnesota State senior forward Joel Hanson, a team captain who carries a cumulative 3.81 grade-point average as a finance major. From Elk River, Minn., he is a three-time WCHA Scholar-Athlete honoree and All-WCHA Academic Team member.
Also honored at the banquet were St. Cloud State sophomore forward Ryan Lasch as scoring champion and North Dakota senior goaltender Jean-Philippe Lamoureux as goaltending champion.
Colorado College and North Dakota dominated the 2007-08 All-WCHA First Team, with the Tigers landing three players and the Fighting Sioux two. St. Cloud State had one player selected. North Dakota also had three players on the Second Team.

Top 10 Hobey Baker Finalists Named
March 20 — The Hobey Baker Memorial Award Foundation on Thursday announced the top 10 finalists for the 2008 Hobey Baker Award, honoring college hockey’s top player.
Alphabetically, they are Nathan Gerbe, Boston College; Ryan Jones, Miami; Lee Jubinville, Princeton; Simon Lambert, RIT; Jean-Philippe Lamoureux, North Dakota; Ryan Lasch, St. Cloud State; Jeff Lerg, Michigan State; T.J. Oshie, North Dakota; Kevin Porter, Michigan; and Kevin Regan, New Hampshire.
The 10 finalists were selected by voting from all 59 Division I head coaches and by online fan balloting at hobeybaker.com. The 25-member Selection Committee and an additional round of fan balloting (at hobeybaker.com from March 20-30) will determine this year’s winner.
Criteria for the award include strength of character on and off the ice, outstanding skills in all phases of the game, sportsmanship and scholastic achievements. This year’s finalists include five seniors, four juniors and one sophomore. Seven forwards and three goaltenders are among the group.
The Hobey Hat Trick of three finalists will be announced on April 2 and the winner will be announced Friday, April 11 from Pepsi Center in Denver during the Frozen Four. The announcement will be aired live on ESPNU at 5:30 p.m. MT.
Following is a closer look at each finalist.
Nathan Gerbe — Boston College, Junior Forward (Oxford, Mich.)
This 5-foot-5 dynamo packs a powerful punch, entering the Hockey East championships as the nation’s second-leading scorer with 52 points. His 27 goals are tied for third in the country after bagging three in last weekend’s playoffs. Gerbe was named First-Team Hockey East and has helped the Eagles to the past two Frozen Fours.
Ryan Jones — Miami University, Senior Forward (Chatham, Ont.)
The RedHawks’ captain guided them to a school-record 29 wins and a second-place finish in the CCHA. He leads the nation in goals with 30 in 38 games, leads the nation with seven game winning goals and has 11 on the power play, cementing his place as second all-time in school goalscoring. Named First-Team CCHA, Jones has been All-Conference three straight seasons and has never missed a game in four years.
Lee Jubinville — Princeton, Junior Forward (Edmonton, Alb.)
Jubinville is the first top-10 finalist from the same school Hobey Baker himself represented so honorably before World War I. The awards heaped upon this slick playmaker include ECAC Player of the Year, First Team All-ECAC and First Team in the Ivy League. Jubinville finished second in ECAC scoring with 31 points in 22 league games. Princeton finished second in the ECAC regular season and was the league’s top-scoring team.
Simon Lambert — RIT, Senior Forward (St. Therese, Que.)
It’s the second straight year the five-year old Atlantic Hockey Association has produced a top-10 finalist. Not only is he the league’s leading scorer, but his 51 points in 37 games are tied for third in the nation, as is his assist total of 26 helpers. Lambert was named First-Team AHA, his second straight year of all-conference honors.
Jean-Philippe Lamoureux — North Dakota, Senior Goalie (Grand Forks, N.D.)
In the second half of the season, few have been hotter than Lamoureux. He has lost only one game in the past 20 while allowing opponents one goal or less in 15 of those outings, and early on, he established a WCHA mark by recording four shutouts in his first five games of the season. The league’s goalie champion was also named to the WCHA Second Team. He sports the nation’s best goals against average at a miniscule 1.63, along with the second-best save percentage at .934, while producing an overall record of 24-9-4.
Ryan Lasch — St. Cloud State, Sophomore Forward (Lake Forest, Calif.)
While enjoying the surf on California’s coast during the off-season for fun, Lasch has found surfing around college defenses his passion. The WCHA scoring champion has tallied 51 points in 38 games, ranking tied for third overall in the nation. The timely sniper has five game-winning goals and 13 power-play tallies to his credit, helping the Huskies to the WCHA Final Five.
Jeff Lerg — Michigan State, Junior Goalie (Livonia, Mich.)
With an NCAA national title and All-Tourney accolades already under his belt, Lerg has been the nation’s busiest goaltender this season as the Spartans prepare for another title run. Leading the CCHA in wins, save percentage and shutouts, Lerg was named to the league’s First Team and is a finalist for Player of the Year honors. The finance major is a two-time Scholar Athlete.
T. J. Oshie — North Dakota, Junior Forward (Warroad, Minn.)
Scoring timely goals has been a forte of Oshie’s, with five game winners this season and a career total of 16 clinchers, placing him second all-time in Fighting Sioux history. Named to the WCHA First Team, Oshie finished fifth in WCHA scoring, producing a team-high 39 points in 37 games. He’s produced 13 multiple-point games this season, expanding his career total to 38.
Kevin Porter — Michigan, Senior Forward (Northville, Mich.)
Consistency defines the nation’s leading scorer as the Wolverine captain has produced points in all but six of the 38 games he’s played. Porter helped guide his team to the CCHA regular-season title and is a finalist for the league’s Player of the Year award and Best Defensive Forward award. He was also named to the CCHA First Team.
Kevin Regan — New Hampshire, Senior Goalie (South Boston, Mass.)
The assistant captain backstopped his Wildcats to the Hockey East league title while leading the league with a 1.80 goals-against average. His overall save percentage of .934 is tied for second in the country. Regan was named First Team Hockey East along and won the conference’s Player of the Year award. The Business/Finance major has earned All-Academic Hockey East accolades three times and has made the UNH Dean’s list every semester of his career.

I won't be surprised at all if he's the best pro to come out of that entire bunch.
Of course, Turris will give him a great run for that label.

All-Rookie Team F Kyle Turris, Fr., Wisconsin (26 gp, 6-13—19) F Tyler Bozak, Fr., Denver (28 gp, 12-12—24) F Garrett Roe, Fr., St. Cloud State (27 gp, 11-17—28) D Ryan McDonagh, Fr., Wisconsin (28 gp, 3-4—7) D Cade Fairchild, Fr., Minnesota (28 gp, 2-8—10) G Richard Bachman, Fr., Colorado College (19-5-1, 1.75 gaa, .937 sv%). Not sure if the teams play the same schedules in the WCHA .... but Turris is the lowest scoring rookie forward. With all his hype, I would have expected him to be some kinda offensive phenomenon. |

He didn't play major junior out west, just junior A. Could adjusting to the NCAA level have something to do with it? |

I personally just don't find Turris to be all that impressive relative to his hype. With all the hype you'd be thinking he'll be some huge scoring forward, when in reality I think he'll end up being a Higgins-type. That's no slight, I like Higgins, but he's no Toews. 60-70 points, two way forward.
If he's better than that, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

turris is about 165lbs soaking wet, he went 3rd overall for a reason, you'll see that, but it will probably take a year or two longer. he has a lot more skill and talent than higgins, he can skate like the wind and is smooth with great hands. higgins is a good skater, but not as good as kyle, and doesn't have anywhere near the hands that kyle has.
he'll explode next year, if he doesn't crack the coytoes lineup, i wouldn't be surprised at all if he did.

I only saw him at the WJC, and he looked mighty good there. One of Canada's top forwards.
