Fire Tortorella 2,653 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 MIKE SZATKOWSKI JR - G 384GP, 193-149-23, .924SV%, 2.36GAA, 47SO S40 Continental Cup Champion S41 Scotty Campbell Trophy S41 Aidan Shaw Trophy Retiring a number is one of the highest honors an organization can bestow upon a player. In the history of the Riga Reign organization, only twelve other players have been remembered in this way. I’d like to formally congratulate Mike Szatkowski Jr. for his dedication, perseverance, and hard work as a member of the Reign. Szatkowski Jr. was without a doubt one of the top goalies to ever lace them up in Riga. In terms of all-time Riga stats, Mike finishes 3rd in games played, 3rd in wins, 1st in shut outs, 2nd in save percentage, and 4th in GAA. If the S35-S41 era Reign were able to extend their run over the duration of Szatkowski Jr.’s career, I don’t think it would be too farfetched to predict that Mike could have finished 1st or 2nd in most of these categories. Szatkowski Jr. joined the Riga Reign via the GM Re-create rule. Joining the team in S36, Szatkowski Jr. would man the net through some good times and some bad times. While the team came up short from S37-S39, Mike helped backstop the team to a Continental Cup championship in S40 and a tough Game 7 loss to the New York Americans in the S41 Finals. Once again, congratulations to Mike and Mike Szatkowski Jr!
