Learning From The Sidelines

CALGARY - Jacques Lafontaine might not be playing as many games as he did in the Minors, only playing 2 games this season in the Victory Hockey League (both of them wins) but he says that he is enjoying the experience.

 

“Yeah, it’s nice to watch from the sidelines. I mean, I hope to be a starter one day but it’s a great opportunity to just watch and observe all of the more experienced goaltenders in the league and try to learn from them. JB Rift has been teaching me well and has helped me a lot with improving my game. I’ve been learning a lot here and I hope to continue my progress.”

 

Lafontaine is the backup to JB Rift who has been great for the Calgary Wranglers as a starter. Rift has been backstopping the first place Wranglers with a record of 17 wins, 8 losses, and 2 overtime losses. He has played 27 games of 29 for the Wranglers.
