Even though the other finalists had outstanding seasons, this was always going to be Caufield’s year after he led the nation in goals and points. The diminutive forward recorded 30 goals and 52 points as a sophomore for the University of Wisconsin, while also helping lead the U.S. World Junior team to gold. It was an incredible performance for the 15th overall selection from 2019, one that has now put him in a small fraternity of Hobey Baker winners.
Caufield quickly signed his entry-level contract with the Canadiens after Wisconsin was eliminated from the NCAA tournament in a game in which he recorded 13 shots, scored two goals and registered an assist in a losing effort and was expected to make his professional debut for the Laval Rocket Friday night.
