coming from a high level junior's father....nahc wrote:If Lakeville North can get any type of solid goaltending in the Sections, they could surprise some folks........including the State tourney if they are fortunate enough to get there. Younger players stepping up. Juniors playing at a high level and top senior players playing as they should.

They got a pretty solid one in Hart. Saw him play AV game - he had a great game - rest of team didn't show up. Not sure why he's not played more - he held DE to 4-1, after going in middle of 1st period - nice write-up on Hockey Hub. He was also in net when they beat LS, according to stats. They seem to be rotating goalies for some reason...nahc wrote:If Lakeville North can get any type of solid goaltending in the Sections, they could surprise some folks........including the State tourney if they are fortunate enough to get there.

the goalie that can play consistantly for a whole game and put a couple of those games together should get the nod. They don't need a goalie to stand on their head, just make the solid saves and not let in any softies. That has been the challenge so far this year......am sure other teams are looking for the same thing.
