Who?

Garteig nails down his 3rd ECAC Goalie of the Week award!

I knew Garteig was going to be a good one but I had never met him. You never know when a kid is going to be a primadonna.
Then I saw that interview he did late last year. He spoke so highly of Hartzell and hoped he had done his bit to keep Hartzell sharp.
I knew at that point Garteig was a true "team player". I did NOT see him coming out of the gate like this though!
It's like Hartzell never left.

They should give the award to the entire Q team for laying down in front of him so much. His GAA is more a matter of team defense than his personal skill, nothing against the lad, but his save percentage is only fifth in the league. He just does not see the amount of shots an average ECAC goalie sees, he is averaging 18 saves a game.

he is averaging 18 saves a game.

Sometimes that's harder on a keeper than facing 50 shots.

Yup and Garteig has talked about needing to see more shots. But I'll take things how they are.

Garteig was on that Penticton Vees team when they went 42-0-2. I remember seeing stats for one of the months.
He had something ridiculous like a .978 save % and 1.08 GAA. They were a truly mind blowing team.

Great QU Chronicle article on transfer KJ Tiefenwerth in his recovery from open heart surgery along with his decision to transfer to Quinnipiac from UMass among other things. Encourage all to read this.

This is weird but College Hockey News has Jason Stephanik as a recruit for 2014 on their roster/recruit page but College Hockey Inc. does not. Either he isn't coming at all in the future or deferred until 2014 which is entirely possible. College Hockey News also shows Nelson Gadoury as a recruit for 2014 while College Hockey Inc. does not. However at the alumni event Bill Riga said they had 8 players committed for 2014 which I thought was strange as College Hockey Inc. had only 6. I'm wondering if Stephanik and Gadoury are the other 2. This was all before Vince Pedrie committed this week.

Rand will let Stephanik back if he stops acting up is what I heard. Rand knew very well before Stephanik stepped foot on campus he had some off the ice issues. Rand took a chance and ended up sending him back home for another year. We'll see what he decides

So basically that means Rand said grow up and play another year of junior hockey and we will defer you until the 2014 season if you still want to come?

Re: 2013-14 Quinnipiac Bobcats: New season, new scoreboards, new chance at redemption

Looks like per Chris Heisenberg's 2014 List Quinnipiac picked up a commit yesterday in the form of a defenseman.

Kevin McKernan who is playing with the Junior Bruins in the USPHL Premier league.

Yes except I don't think its Stephanik's decision. Rand's saying clean up your act then we'll let you come back

This weeks game notes. We have a losing record at home all time against Princeton and only a 9-8-1 record all time against them. Important weekend for us to get 4 points.
