The Women’s Hockey Commissioners Association has announced the semifinalists for the Women’s Hockey Goalie of the Year Award.
Twelve goalies from four Division I conferences have advanced from a “watch list” of 22 outstanding netminders. Voting was carried out by a panel of coaches, administrators and media members from across the country.
It is an experienced dozen, with nine of the 12 either seniors or graduate students. Five are repeat semifinalists, including Northeastern’s Aerin Frankel, the 2021 Goalie of the Year.
The semifinalists have an international flair to them with seven from the U.S., three from Canada and one each from Germany and Sweden. Two are sophomores, one is a junior, five are seniors and four are graduates
Three finalists will be announced during conference championships and the winner will be announced during the Frozen Four at Penn State.
