Cade Fairchild
Minnesota
Defenseman

Statistics: 40 GP, 2-13—15

The mobile Minnesota defenseman plays the game with his head up and is a difference maker on the ice. He missed four games during the season when he was playing for the U.S. at the World Juniors, but still ranked as their second-highest scoring defenseman.

Jeff Petry
Michigan State
Defenseman

Statistics: 42 GP, 3-21—24

A big, smart, mobile defender, Petry scored 24 points for the Spartans during his rookie campaign. Chosen by Edmonton in the 2006 entry draft, the Oilers believe Petry has the potential to one day be a no. 1 or no. 2 defenseman in the NHL.

Garrett Roe
St. Cloud State
Forward

Statistics: 39 GP, 18-27—45

Some might say that his point totals are a reflection of his linemates and those players he's on a power-play unit with. Closer observers know that he helps them as much as he benefits from their skill. He brings tons of energy, talent, and flair to the ice, and had 45 points.

Joe Whitney
Boston College
Forward

Statistics: 42 GP, 10-40—50

Nathan Gerbe, Ben Smith, Dan Bertram, and Benn Ferriero get the most attention, but Whitney racked up 40 assists for the Frozen Four-bound Eagles. And he's not just a setup man, as evidenced by his game-winning overtime goal in the NCAA Regional final against Miami.
