The best goalie from each draft class (S70 to S74)

[Baby Boomer 753]

Welcome everyone,

 

This week is theme week, and the theme is Retro. In this media spot I will name the best goalie of each season between S70 and S74. I will select the best goalie per draft class.

 

S70 – Jacques Lafontaine @SlapshotBear

 

Without further a due, the best goalie of the S70 draft class is Jacques Lafontaine. Lafontaine played his entire career with the Calgary Wranglers from S70 to S76. He played 382 games for a record of 220 wins, 128 losses and 34 losses in overtime. He finished his career with a save percentage of 0.919% and an average of goals against of 2.58. Jacques won the Greg

Clegane Trophy, awarded to the goalie with the lowest GAA, in S72 and S73. I also wanted to give an honorable mention to Jaxx Hextall @ROOKIE745.

 

S71 – Stone Wolski @DollarAndADream

 

In the S71, the choice is a little bit easier since Stone Wolski is pretty much the only goalie that became a starter of this draft class. He played 478 games with the D.C. Dragons between S71 and S78 and won 232 games. His best season was without a doubt S75, because he won 4 trophies, the Greg Clegane Trophy, the Brett Slobodzian Trophy, the Aidan Shaw Trophy, and the Dustin Funk Trophy.

 

S72 – Zamboni Driver @Tape-to-Tape

 

Just like for the S71 draft class, there is only one goalie that was a starter for his entire career, and his name is Zamboni Driver. Driver played his first six seasons in the VHL with the Helsinki Titans from S73 to S78 and he finished his career with the Riga Reign in S79. He even won the Greg Clegane Trophy in S79 with Riga. Throughout his career, Zamboni Driver won 220 of the 406 games he played.

 

S73 – Jean Pierre Camus and Jacob Tonn @solas @MexicanCow123

 

I know I said I would choose only one goalie per draft class, but I could not decide between the two of them. Camus played from S73 to S80 with the Chicago Phoenix and won the Continental Cup with them in S76. In S78 and S80, he won the Aidan Shaw Trophy and in S80 Camus also won the Brett Slobodzian Trophy and the Greg Clegane Trophy. Tonn played for the Seattle Bears, the Moscow Menace and the London United during his six seasons career. He won the Continental Cup in his first season with the Bears in S73. In S76, he won the Aidan Shaw Trophy, and he finished his career by winning three consecutive Greg Clegane Trophy in S76, S77 and S78.

 

S74 – Markus Emerson Jr @Xflexz

 

The S74 draft class was for sure the most difficult to decide, but my choice is Markus Emerson Jr. Emerson Jr played all his 230 games with the Vancouver Wolves between S76 and S80 and won 128 of them. In S80, he had the best season of his career and led his team to the Continental Cup. Honorable mention to Doug Dimmadome @Esso2264 and Vsevolod Askarov @Gooningitup.

 

Thanks everyone for reading and just a reminder that this is my opinion, so you don’t have to agree. However, if you don’t agree with me, then you are wrong, sorry.
