Hobey Baker High School Character Award

The goal of the Hobey Baker High School Character Award is to develop, recognize, and reward exemplary character and sportsmanship demonstrated by our high school players. The high school level award is a natural extension of the prestigious Hobey Baker Memorial Award given to the nation’s top collegiate hockey player and sportsman.

Each Minnesota high school coach should choose one player from their team that will receive this award.  This award is for the player that exemplifies the sportsmanship and character of Hobey Baker.  Integrity, coachability, selflessness, and citizenship should be considered.  It is not a best player award but a best person award.  The recipient of the award will be given a plaque that the coach will present to her at their local end of the season team banquet. The recipient will have her name published, along with all the other Minnesota High School Character Award winners, in Lets Play Hockey State Tournament issue and be invited to a picnic and on field presentation at a Minnesota Twins game at the end of the year.

NOMINATING INSTRUCTIONS

Character. Excellence. A love for the game. Sportsmanship.

These are the values that shaped the legend of Hobey Baker. The Hobey Baker Award committee believes that adversity builds character, and character builds excellence. Character makes the game better.

We value your role in growing Hobey’s legend. We would like to provide the opportunity for your team to participate in the 2023 Hobey Baker High School Character Award program, presented by BioSteel. Each year, we hear from coaches, players, and parents the satisfaction of being recognized for embracing the values the game teaches – coachability, strength of character, integrity, commitment, teamwork, community building and outstanding sportsmanship.

As in years past, this award is available to a single senior winner for each high school team in the

country. Here’s how it works:

  •         The winner is selected by you, the high school coach, and information is input via an on-line form.
  •         Once the selection is input, we produce and ship a plaque to the coach. Make sure to leave lead time for your banquet.
  •         Award presentation is up to the team, but is typically made at a season ending event.
  •         In April, the Hobey Baker website will display information on each of the winners.
