Fighting Sioux goalie Jean-Philippe Lamoureux has started every game for the Fighting Sioux this season and has amassed a 17-8-2 record; most people don’t even know who the Fighting Sioux have as their back up. In fact someone asked me who the back up was during the Gophers series. I said, “Does it matter?” Just for the record the UND back up goalie’s name is Aaron Walski Junior from Fargo, ND.  Lamoureux is sitting atop of the national rankings and is hardly getting a look for the Hobey Baker Memorial award.

It is puzzling to me that Jean-Philippe Lamoureux is getting no love on the CSTV Hobey Baker Watch or at the INCH Hobey Tracker. I can imagine that Sioux fans probably are scratching their head as well and wondering why Phil isn’t on the list? Statistically Lamoureux is one of the best in the country per the NCAA Stats. Here is how Jean-Philippe Lamoureux compares to the other goalies listed on the Hobey Baker watch.
