The Ohio High School Hockey Coaches Association
is pleased to announce the High School Hobey Baker award
recipients for the 2008-2009 season.
In 2003 the Hobey Baker Foundation initiated the Hobey
Baker High School Character Awards. The award was initially
piloted in Minnesota. In 2007 the award was sponsored for boys
and girls in Minnesota, Michigan, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Wisconsin, Washington DC, Missouri and Colorado. In 2007-2008,
the Ohio High School Hockey Coaches Association began their
participation in the program. Nationally, over 700 deserving
recipients received this award in the 2007-2008 season
The criteria for this award are Character, Sportsmanship,
Citizenship, Teamwork and Academics. “The Team before me”. With
the cooperation of the Coaches Association and League a
recipient is chosen from each team. A six-minute video about
Hobey Baker and Character and Sportsmanship is given to each
coach to assist in the presentation of the plaque at each team’s
award banquet. The coaches are excited about this award because
it is truly a “best kid” award. Hobey Baker is promoting this
award because of the importance of Character Development and
Sportsmanship. Recipients receive a plaque from the Hobey Baker
foundation, recognition in the State High School Hockey
Tournament Program and other hockey periodicals.
This year’s recipients will be honored at the OHSHCA
awards luncheon to be held at Nationwide Arena, home of the
NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets, on Saturday March 14th
at 11:30am. The luncheon will immediately precede the Ohio High
School Athletic Association’s Ice Hockey Semi-Final games, the
winners of which will play on Sunday March 15th for
the Ohio High School Ice Hockey crown. The guest speaker at the
luncheon will be Brian Holzinger, an alumnus of Padua Franciscan
High School in Parma, Ohio and the 1995 NCAA Hobey Baker award
winner as a student-athlete at Bowling Green
