Re: UMass Lowell Offseason 2014: Brave New World
This stood out to me as well, Hellebuyck's strong character and sense of team. The fact that his save percentage of .946 is the best in the HISTORY of college hockey is amazing. And while many of us are disappointed he left early and we're on edge a bit for next year, we all truly witnessed something special and amazing the last two years. Doyle, Demole, Delfino, MacCormack, Fillion, Hutton, Roloson, Carr, etc. have all been part of the proud goaltending tradition at Lowell through the years but nothing touched the performance of Hellebuyck the past two years. He will be missed and I truly hope he has a stellar pro career.
I really liked this quote in the USCHO article written about the Richter award:
“I can go on for days about how much I love the guy,” Hellebuyck said. “I wish him the best of luck right now and believe he’s playing [for the Abbotsford Heat of the AHL] on Sunday. We battled really hard, but with that being said, we’re brothers now. http://www.uscho.com/2014/04/11/in-...its-massachusetts-lowell-goaltending-partner/
