Two seasons ago, North Dakota’s goaltending was the butt of jokes throughout the college hockey world. No more.<\/p>\n
Heading into the Frozen Four in Columbus, Ohio, Fighting Sioux sophomore Jordan Parise is one of the hottest goalies in the country. He’s 8-0-2 since he took over the starting job Feb. 26 against Wisconsin. During that stretch, he has a 1.50 goals against average and a .946 save percentage. Parise has been so good lately that his teammates say it’s rare to get the puck past him in practice.<\/p>\n
“Whether it’s a game or practice, he’s such a competitor,” said UND associate head coach Brad Berry. “He takes pride in keeping the puck out of the net, and it’s the same in practice. He’s the ultimate competitor.”<\/p>\n
Behind Parise are two goalies who would be starters on most teams. As a freshman, Philippe Lamoureux rotated goaltending duties with Parise for most of the season. The tandem of Parise and Lamoureux played well enough that senior goalie Jake Brandt started only one game this season, despite a .702 career win percentage at the season’s start.<\/p>\n
