Hidden Hobey

Madden, Michigan's other Hobey candidate, shines in the shadow of the spotlight

By Andy Knudsen
Daily Sports Writer Michigan fans have been chanting "Hobey Baker" for the entire second half of the season. And yes, captain Brendan Morrison has an excellent chance of finally winning college hockey's MVP award.

But not receiving nearly as much attention has been John Madden - Michigan's other Hobey Baker finalist.

Hearing the words "John Madden, Hobey Baker finalist" may be surprising to some people, considering that some of Madden's teammates with names like Jason Botterill, Marty Turco, Mike Legg and Bill Muckalt were not among the 10 finalists.

But it's no surprise when examining Madden's senior campaign.

"I think the surprise is Johnny got off to a good start and maintained it," Michigan coach Red Berenson said. "He has been as consistent a player as we've had.

"He's been one of our most valuable players on our team and one of our most overlooked and underrated players on our team. And I'm pleased that he's gotten recognition."

Nobody is a bigger fan of Mad Dog than me but we really could use some more 'O' from him. I'm shocked that through 51 games this year he has just seven goals and 15 assists. Nobody is better at playing defense but I know he can contribute more on the offensive side.
