University of Denver goaltender Marc Cheverie, who backstopped the Pioneers to a two-game sweep over visiting league rival Minnesota Duluth last weekend, is the Red Baron® WCHA Defensive Player of the Week for November 11-17. . . FULL STORY.
But he's not the only one picking up the good word. Brian Foster was named Hockey East's goalie of the month for October, and last week, he found himself the subject of a College Hockey News feature, which is well worth the read in its entirety.
This season, Foster is making up for lost time. The athletic goalie from Pembroke, N.H., has helped lead New Hampshire to a 4-1-2 record and a 2-0-2 record in Hockey East going into this weekend's non-league games at Minnesota. In six games, Foster, a Florida Panthers draft pick, has gone 4-1-1 and has a 1.48 goals against average and a .951 save percentage.
"I wanted to come in have good year right from the start," Foster said. "But most importantly, I wanted to give my team a chance to win."
Foster is certainly doing that. The Junior has gotten wins against Wisconsin, Rensselaer, Boston University and Northeastern -- three of which are nationally ranked. But maybe even more encouraging for New Hampshire is the fact that Foster has stepped in perfectly and not allowed the team to miss a beat after the departure of Regan.
"He took the spot right over," New Hampshire coach Dick Umile said. "He's a No. 1 goaltender. He's proven that he's going to be a top goalie." . . . FULL STORY.
One extra note, still on the subject of goalies. Jacob Markström played in his first game since being struck in the neck by a puck on November 3rd.
Brynäs took on league-leading Linköpings on Thursday and despite outshooting their opponents 26-20, Markström and Brynäs fell, 3-1.
