FWIW any goalie IS AMAZING that faces 750+ shots a season, let alone that many in half a season, and posts a nearly 90% sv %!!!rchhcky wrote:IMO there are many here in Roch. From Century, sophomore goalie Liz Maidl, it's nothing for her to face over 70 shots per game, but usually holds the opponent to single digit scoring. From Mayo, besides the knowns, like senior F Allie Harwood, Katie Psimos & Britt Erikson, there is jr. F Stevie Fiek & I believe they will see great things from fr f Mary Grace Fletcher. Also, on Mayo are stong D from srs. Nicki Anderson, Sara Miller & jr. Nara Higano. On the JM/Lourdes team we see strong play from sr. f Gretchen Leyendecker, jr. d Alicia Mogen & fr. g. Michelle Bonapace.
Hunter does it again as Kennedy upsets the Novas in the section 5AA play-in 2-1 in 2 OT. 49 saves.keepitreal wrote:Kari Hunter, the junior goalie for the young and hopelessly out-gunned Bloomington Kennedy team will never be at the top of the W-L list, but she may face the most shots of anyone this season. She opened some eyes with a 66 save shutout earlier this year, and routinely faces 40 shots a game.
That happens more than people think where a good player will leave their so so team and then is just a number on a good team.xwildfan wrote:I hope the goalie from Kennedy stays there. She reminds me of a great goalie who played for a perennial cellar-dweller in the Lake Conference. She also faced 40+ shots per game. She was the show for this team. Then she was persuaded to transfer to a powerhouse in a neighboring conference to "get noticed." She rarely faced more than 12-15 shots per game and essentially became a footnote on a great team. She had 0 offers to play D1 hockey. Don't know if the Kennedy goalie has college aspirations; if she does, she will get more noticed at Kennedy rather than at a so-called big name HS team.

We need to remember that there are great players who are humble and team-oriented enough to be a "footnote" on a great team where they are challenged and growing through quality practices and coaching than be the "show" where their development may be limited. These kids are smart enough to know that only the very top tier get D1 noticed through their high school season and that the other off season opportunities--camps and summer teams--will require them to perform well in a competitive field.xwildfan wrote:I hope the goalie from Kennedy stays there.

Not sure if she moved or x-fered, but I remember being impressed when I saw her play for Prior Lake last year. Saw her share of pucks there too.pickme wrote:Didn't Hunter come to BK from somewhere else? I could be wrong but I'm 80% sure she played somewhere else last season and either moved or transferred to BK.

Nick Leach is a stand-up guy and a Gulf War veteranPL got a new coach, not sure if that was the reason but it is too bad they did not give him an oppertunity.
He has done well with a young squad.
