And then, there were 10.

Finalists for the 2018 Hobey Baker Award - an annual recognition of the NCAA's top hockey player - were announced Wednesday.

Among this year's finalists are Henrik Borgstrom, a first-round draft choice by the Florida Panthers in 2016, and Ryan Donato, a Boston Bruins prospect and USA Hockey product who competes at Harvard University.

Also included are three goaltenders. No netminder has won the Hobey Baker since Ryan Miller of the Anaheim Ducks claimed it 2001.
