It was all-in all a solid rookie season for Five-Hole Sieve. Despite entering the league right before the start of the season and being a bit behind his classmates in training, the net-minder played in a bit under half of his team's games, with a 14-12 record. Sieve faced 1094 shots and saved 988 of them for a very good .903 save percentage. In fact, that save percentage played him 2nd in the entire league, behind only Kay Lee's .905, as only 4 goalies finished with a .900 or better save percentage. He recorded 1 shutout and had an average game rating of 77. He finished 10th among goalies with at least 30 games played in goals against average at 3.79. As a backup who will be starting this coming season, we'll see if these positive numbers were a byproduct of limited playing time and matchups, or if Five-Hole Sieve is as good as advertised. Personally, according to Sieve's representatives, nothing but an SMJHL All-Star nod will do.
