The Hockey Commissioners Association has announced the semifinalists for this year\u2019s Mike Richter Award, given annually to the top goalie in men\u2019s NCAA Division I hockey since 2014.<\/p>\n

Nine goaltenders from a watch list of 41 were singled out by a panel of voters from across the hockey community.<\/p>\n

There is a distinct international feel to the semifinalists with three each from Canada and the United States, two from Sweden, and one from the Czech Republic. Five are seniors, two are juniors, and two are sophomores. Four were semifinalists last year.<\/p>\n

Three finalists will be announced in early March and the winner of this year\u2019s Mike Richter Award will be announced in April during the NCAA Frozen Four in Tampa. Last year\u2019s recipient, Devon Levi of Northeastern, is again a semifinalist.<\/p>\n

Five NCAA Division I conferences are represented among the semifinalists with the Big Ten boasting three goalies, followed by ECAC Hockey and Hockey East with two each and the CCHA and the NCHC with one each.<\/p>\n

Past Richter Award Recipients: 2014 – Connor Hellebuyck, UMass Lowell; 2015 – Zane McIntyre, North Dakota; 2016 – Thatcher Demko, Boston College; 2017 – Tanner Jaillet, Denver; 2018 – Cale Morris, Notre Dame; 2019 – Cayden Primeau, Northeastern; 2020 – Jeremy Swayman, Maine; 2021 – Jack LaFontaine, Minnesota; 2022 – Devon Levi, Northeastern.<\/em><\/p>\n
