Chockey Betting Lines

04/07/2007 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Hobey Baker Memorial Award Executive Committee announced Friday that North Dakota forward Ryan Duncan was named the 27th winner of college hockey's most prestigious individual honor.

Named after a legendary Princeton hockey player who died in World War I, the award recognizes strength of character in players both on and off the ice.

Duncan, a sophomore, is the first Fighting Sioux player to earn the honor since former NHL player Tony Hrkac in 1987. He is the sixth consecutive Hobey winner to come out of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association.

The last non-WCHA player to win the award was Ryan Miller of Michigan State -- also a sophomore -- in 2001.

The Calgary, Alberta native registered 31 goals and 57 points in 43 games in 2006-2007, ranking fourth in the nation. His 17 power-play goals placed him second among all players.

Duncan had previously earned WCHA player of the year honors for a squad which made its third consecutive Frozen Four appearance before falling to Boston College in a semifinal matchup on Thursday.

Matt Carle, who currently plays for the San Jose Sharks, took home the honor in 2006 out of the University of Denver.

As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.

Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1.
