Seven actually, got a couple D moving further back. Makes for great small area games.

Don't discount the value of small games amongst a bunch of goalies in equipment......Some might want to become the next Martin Brodeur......
......Do we have a female star equivalent to MB ?.....
.....Labonte was fleet on her feet to go and handle the puck, are there others ?.

Re: 2013-2014 D1 Commitments
I haven't followed New Hampshire at all this season but just looked at their statistics after reading this. How (and why) in the world do you end up with 4 goalies that are all either freshman or sophomores and play them all in at least a couple of games!!!???? And then recruit a fifth goalie for next season (BTW- have seen Wilkes play at NAHA and she is solid - have been wondering why she wasn't committed anywhere)? This is like a MA town youth hockey mentality at the squirt level ..... everyone plays.... not a Division 1 approach.

I have heard rumblings of a transfer, so I doubt you'll see 5 goaltenders at UNH in the Fall.
If you look at the stats, you'll see that Gilligan established herself as the #1 tender, and from December on, played the lion's share of games. Moe Bradley is a walk-on, who was never expected to see more than limited action. At the beginning of the season, when the goaltending job was up for grabs, was when you saw a lot more of every goaltender.

Re: 2013-2014 D1 Commitments
Ha, kinda funny, except in reality it was more like "get the job done, or you don't play" and this applied to all positions. Hardly youth hockey.

The consistency needs to come from the the five out in front on any shift more than from Miss Gilligan. Too many times she got hung out to dry.
Re: 2013-2014 D1 Commitments
I'm a big Gilly fan. IMHO, the top three goalies in Hockey East will be sitting at home this weekend: Douville, Gilly, and Ott.
Hockey East Leaders:
Save Percentage: Saves GA Pct
1 Roxanne Douville - Vermont JR 590 49 .923
2 Jenn Gilligan - New Hampshire SO 311 29 .915
3 Corinne Boyles - Boston College SR 248 24 .912
Ott was also hung out to dry this year...sometimes with 3 players in the D zone and 2 forwards hanging out at the far blue line

Re: 2013-2014 D1 Commitments
As noted previously, have seen Wilkes play and thought she was very solid. With respect to the NAHA white team this season, they are a good team but having watched them over the past 5-10 years I think that they have had stronger teams. The Pelkey years were probably the best teams I have seen there.....

I watched her play a limited number of games the year before last and at that point would not have pegged her to start as a freshman. NAHA has almost no goaltender instruction so it is not uncommon to see limited improvement in fundamentals year to year.

Re: 2013-2014 D1 Commitments
There were some dominant NAHA teams prior to the Pelkey years.....The team with the Ammerman's, Resstucia, Skudder, Boucher, Bizarre, Mangene and Cardella were very deep and dominant.

Re: 2013-2014 D1 Commitments
Talk about an ignorant post by someone that clearly knows nothing about the goalie coach at NAHA. Cap Raeder is on the ice every week with dedicated goalie sessions with the NAHA goalies. If you don't know who he is here is a link to some information about Cap, http://ingoalmag.com/interviews/cap-raeder-goaltending-coach-of-the-tampa-bay-lightning/. Wilkes was also voted first team JWHL goalie this year. Which is selected by the coaches of every team. SIMPLY INACCURATE.... Wilkes will prove to be the best goalie on UNH next year and there is no doubt that they need improvement in that category.

Re: 2013-2014 D1 Commitments
Not wading in to the discussion about Wilkes as time will answer that question. However, (and I may be mistaken, so correct me if I'm wrong), I do believe that GoalieDad35 had a daughter who was a goalie at NAHA prior to going off to college in the last few years. So he should know something about the quality of goaltending coaching there at least while his daughter was there (perhaps Raeder is a new add).

Re: 2013-2014 D1 Commitments
Wilkes started on NAHA's U16 team last year and was so good that she earned a spot on the U19 team for playoffs and ended up beating out two Sr's at NAHA and playing in the JWHL championship game(and winning), because she was the best goalie. Goaliedad35 had a daughter at NAHA who was beaten out by Wilkes to play in the championship, sounds like sour grapes to me. Cap Raeder has been at NAHA since 2010 season and is not a new addition. Just because Goaliedad35 had a daughter at NAHA doesn't mean he knows anything about hockey....

Re: 2013-2014 D1 Commitments
Well, I guess we know Ashley Wilkes parent's opinion....
As I have previously stated twice, I believe she is solid based on having watched her play several times and time will tell how she does at New Hampshire. Would be interesting to know why she was such a late commitment announcement since most of the other top goalies have been committed for a while, but I won't press my luck.....
