I may be biased, but my own vote would definitely go to my Anchorage Armada’s starting goalie Scoochie Stratton. He has carried us to victories against the tops of the league and currently leads the league in both goals against average (a marvelous 1.57) and save percentage (a superb 93.5%) and is also tied for the league lead in wins (26) and shutouts (a whopping 8). While it is true that Anchorage also boasts a formidable defense in front of him and he doesn’t perhaps face the amount of shots that most other starters do, his performance has been key in giving the team the confidence to go and make things happen in the other end of the ice as well without having to worry too much about the repercussions of an odd-man rush coming back at him every now and then. He has been ever sharp and ready!
