I think when you look at UND senior defenseman Chay Genoway’s and his career at UND, he reminds me of your prototypical Hobey Baker Memorial Award Candidate, he is a 4.0 student, All WCHA Academic, clean cut, the leader on his team. The UND Fighting Sioux hockey team will miss him after he graduates... Here is the link to his Vote for Chay Genoway for Hobey Baker Memorial Award page.

His Story
Chay Genoway not only thought his college career was over, he thought he may never play hockey again.
Hit to the head early in the 2009-10 season, suffered post concussion symptoms that kept him off the ice.
"Not knowing whether you're going to play at all again is pretty scary," Genoway said.
The captain watched his team go on to win the Broadmoor Trophy and into the NCAA playoffs. He wanted nothing more than to be a part of the team.
Shortly after the season ended, Genoway announced he would return after receiving a medical redshirt.
He wanted to finish what he started.
On and off the ice, Genoway makes a difference. Game changer in the rink. In the community. The class room. Genoway continues on.
