Bobby Butler was caught off guard when he first found out about the new website the schools athletics department had created in his honor.
In an early text message reply, the senior captain admitted that he did not know of the website and hadn't checked it out.
But after viewing the site, www.butlerforhobey.com, he admits that the site is pretty cool.
"It's very cool," Butler said. "It's pretty amazing the stuff they can do these days."
Butler is third in the nation in goals scored and fourth in points recorded.
The website scrolls through five pages, including a glance at the Hobey Baker hopeful, a look into his stats and a page with media links detailing Butlers trip from Marlborough, Mass. to Durham.
Viewers can check out a quick bio of the forward, photos and find a link to the fan-voting site. Heading into tonight's game, Butler had 36 points on 18 goals. But the six-foot forward isn't thinking about the award.
"I'm really not. I'm just worried about these last nine games," he said. "I didn't even know they were going to do that."
The Hobey Baker Award goes to the best college hockey player of the year. Fan voting has already begun and the ten finalists will be announced in a little over a month.
Jason Krog was the only UNH player to win college hockey's most prestigious award. He won it after the 1999 season and his trophy sits outside the rink at the Whittemore Center.
