GRAND FORKS, N.D. - Fighting Sioux hockey fans can vote for North Dakota senior defenseman Chay Genoway in the 2010 Hobey Baker Award fan balloting, which begins today.
To submit your vote, visit http://www.hobeybaker.com/ and click on the ‘Vote for Hobey Baker' tab. This first phase of fan balloting will run through March 7, 2010. The fans' vote accounts for a full one percent of the total ballot in each phase in selecting this year's award recipient.

Genoway, the Sioux captain, has appeared in nine games this season and was the team's leading scorer and the WCHA's highest-scoring defenseman with four goals and six assists when he suffered an injury, at which time UND was 7-1-1.

The leading active scorer among WCHA defensemen with 90 career points, Genoway was a second-team All-American as a junior in 2008-09 after collecting a career-high 32 points. He was named the 2008-09 WCHA Defensive Player of the Year, a first-team All-WCHA selection and a second-team All-College Hockey News pick.

Genoway, a native of Morden, Manitoba, was also named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America third team and was named a WCHA Scholar Athlete for the second straight year. He was also named to his second straight All-WCHA Academic team and received his second straight Archie Krum Memorial Scholarship as the UND player who "demonstrates leadership qualities, high academic standards and athletic excellence."

Phase two of fan balloting will begin on March 19 from the list of top 10 Hobey Baker finalists.

The 2010 Hobey Baker Award winner will be announced from a field of three Hobey Hat Trick finalists on Friday, April 9, 2010 during the NCAA Frozen Four Championships in Detroit, Mich. The 30th annual award announcement honoring college hockey's top player will be televised live during prime time on ESPNU.
