In response to recent inquiries and social media traffic concerning Dryden McKay, the Hobey Baker Memorial Award Committee would like to confirm that we stand by Dryden McKay as the 2022 winner of our annual award. In January, the NCAA and Minnesota State University-Mankato were aware of the issue and concluded that it was fine for Dryden to continue to play. In addition, independent laboratory tests have concluded that the trillionths of a gram of a banned substance found in a January 23 blood test of Dryden McKay came from a contaminated, all-natural vitamin D3 immune booster. We wish him the best of luck as he continues to pursue excellence through character and hard work in the tradition of Hobey Baker. Hobey Baker Memorial Award Foundation
