Mac Berglove is back for another season with Saint John’s. Photo Credit: Bill Prout<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mac Berglove opted to use his extra year of eligibility that he was granted because the COVID-19 pandemic\u2019s impact on last season.<\/span><\/p>\n

It has turned out to be a great thing for Saint John\u2019s, which saw Berglove record the fourth shutout of his career last weekend against Wisconsin-Eau Claire in a 1-0 win.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always good to start off with a good game, especially as a goalie,\u201d Berglove said. \u201cWith goalie being a very mental position, it\u2019s good to start ahead.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Berglove has been playing for the Johnnies since 2017 and has won four or more games three ties in his career while racking up 200 or more saves three times, including 244 last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until late this summer that he made the decision to return official. His competitiveness helped draw him back for another season.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI really wanted to play a full season where everything was normal and we could have a chance to play for a championship,\u201d Berglove said.<\/span><\/p>\n

There was no MIAC tournament last season. The Johnnies won the regular season title two seasons ago but lost in the semifinal round of the conference tourney.<\/span><\/p>\n

With last season being a shortened season that was full of uncertainty, it gave Berglove an even greater appreciation for the game and the opportunity to be an athlete.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt showed me how much hockey really means to be,\u201d Berglove said. \u201cWith us being in such limbo last year, I realized just how much I missed it. It\u2019s great to have another season to play.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

His experience playing college hockey has proven valuable to the Johnnies, and as one of the team\u2019s assistant captains, he\u2019s made an effort to make sure there is a strong team bond in place.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a lot of new faces and I\u2019ve tried to help us build good team chemistry and make sure that everyone is on the same page,\u201d Berglove said. \u201cWe all have the same end goal in mind and are playing for each other.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On a personal level, Berglove believes he\u2019s seen strides made from the standpoint of things that cannot be measured on a stat sheet.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy hockey sense, game knowledge, maturity, however you want to phrase it, has improved,\u201d Berglove said. \u201cWith playing as many games as I have and seeing as many shots as I have, that experience has made me a better hockey player.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Johnnies hope to contend for a conference championship this season and an NCAA tourney berth as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019ll have a shot based on just the mentality of the program alone. That\u2019s something Berglove loves about playing for Saint John\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI love the winning mentality we have had here,\u201d Berglove said. \u201cWe always have high expectations and that\u2019s been a great thing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Berglove is ready to keep that mentality in place and lead Saint John\u2019s to another successful year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBeing an older guy and someone who has been around the block a few times, I know you just have to take each game as it\u2019s own thing and never get too high or too low,\u201d Berglove said. \u201cI\u2019m going to go out every game and give it everything I\u2019ve got.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
