Mankato West- Goalie looks a little nervous. Gives up a lot of rebounds. Has a backup sophmore that looks solid in warm-ups. Haven't seen him in a varsity game. Saw him last year in a bantam game though. Looks solid.

Rochestor Lourdes- Good goalie, has good defense though. Controls rebounds. Tall and quick watch for him your not gonna get many flukey goals on him.

New Prague-Young Gun. Two goalies competed for the starting position up north. I think the freshman won it. He's small but is very good. His only downfall is his size. Also, he beats himself up. Very unpredictable. Played in a JV game against Hermantown, not sure of exact numbers but let in over 7 goals against JV. Then vs. Lourdes let in 3 goals. Like I said Unpredictable.

Austin-Great goaltender, horrible team. Getting 50+ shots is not out of the question. Game against Fairbault got 83 shots, saved 76. Game against Century 95 shots, saves 87. Those are the only games he's played in that are registered on MN Hockey hub. Save pct of .916

Red Wing-Another good goalie with plenty of action against plenty of good teams (excluding Northfield that is). Good save pct of .916. That is including games against Holy Angels, Lourdes and Breck!

Any other goalies I have yet to see.

I agree that the West Goalie looks nervous. I was not very impressed with him overall. I think if West gives this sophmore a shot and he steps up to the challange West is going to be a mucher stronger team.

Wrolson of A.L. stopped 33 of 36 last night in Albert Lea's 5-3 win over Century.

He looked very strong and kept A.L. in the game until they could make their comeback in the last half of the game.

I have seen Mankato West's back-up goalie at a recent scrimage in Red Wing. He struggled giving up at least 8 goals over two periods of play. Trautman seemed much more confindent in net and held Totino Grace scoreless while he was in the net. It would be hard to judge if a back-up goalie looked solid in warm-ups as they take very few shots compared to the starting goalie. I would say they should give this Trautman kid a chance as he has been doing well so far.

Trautman kid has looked pretty good so far from games I have seen....much better than expected IMO. Can be a little shakey with rebounds as stated before but somehow seems to make saves. All this team needs is a good run of goaltending come playoffs and it could upset Lourdes or NP in sections.

I agree that Trautman has been doing a good job in goal so far. I see him more confident as the season progresses. The top line for West Bruggeman, Leiferman and Weber have been good so far. Campbell remains strong at defense. Essay is a quality coach. I believe that West can be a contender during sections.
