Bulldogs to Honor Hobey Baker Foursome

February 3, 2012 Updated Feb 3, 2012 at 7:17 PM CDT

Duluth, MN (Northland's NewsCenter) --- The UMD men's hockey team plans to honor its four Hobey Baker recipients on February 10 as this year's team takes on North Dakota at AMSOIL Arena in Duluth.

Tom Kurvers, Bill Watson, Chris Marinucci, and Junior Lessard will all be on the hand for the event, doubling as the first time they have all four been present at a Bulldogs game.

Four new banners will be unveiled for each of the former players, and a Hobey Baker Award display will be on hand for fans to see that night as well.

UMD has the most Hobey Baker winners of any Division I men's hockey program with four, and senior captain Jack Connolly is this season making a bid at becoming the fifth winner in school history.
