Smith has the Answers
The following article featuring Colgate forward Austin Smith appeared January 18 on the New England Hockey Journal (NEHJ) Web site.
At last look, Colgate senior forward Austin Smith was leading the fan voting for the Hobey Baker Award.
Although the honor doesn't come close to clinching the award for Smith -- the fan vote accounts for only one percent of the overall balloting -- it does prove that college hockey fans have taken note of Smith's breakout season.
Smith leads the nation in goals (22), averaging a goal per game for the Raiders. He has already more than doubled his goal tally from last season (10), which was a struggle for both him and his Colgate teammates. This season, Smith has the Raiders (12-8-2 overall, 6-4-0 ECAC Hockey) in the hunt for an ECAC title. As recently as last week, Colgate was nationally ranked before falling to Princeton and Quinnipiac over the weekend.
