Think Mitch Gillam is going to remember his first collegiate start?

Yeah, probably.
The Cornell freshman allowed two goals in a win over Niagara on Tuesday but what will be remembered years from now is the empty-net goal he scored.
Gillam, a Peterborough, Ontario, native, spent the last two seasons with Chilliwack of the BCHL and watched senior Andy Iles start each of the Big Red’s first 10 games this season.
He made a pretty good impression when he finally got the call, and put himself in the record book.
Mitch Gillam of @CUBigRedHockey is just the 8th NCAA Division I goalie credited with a goal, the 3d to shoot the puck himself.

Other goalies to shoot and score before Gillam: Mike Mantua (WMU ’02), Chad Alban (MSU ’98).
