Jr. Reign, St. John Bosco alum Croteau tabbed USHL Goaltender of the Week
The USHL announced today that Waterloo Blackhawks netminder Emmett Croteau has been named the Goaltender of the Week.
Croteau backed the Black Hawks to a pair of wins in the final weekend of the season, recording a 1.80 goals-against average and a .929 save percentage while stopping 39 of the 42 shots sent his way.
The Bonnyville, Alberta native made 16 saves on Friday as Waterloo bested the Des Moines Buccaneers 6-3 and followed it up with a perfect 23 saves in 40 minutes of work on Saturday as part of a Black Hawks duo that turned in a 4-0 shutout victory of the Buccaneers.
Croteau, in his second season with the Black Hawks, finished with a 16-16-3-0 record in 35 appearances while collecting a 3.00 goals-against average and a .899 save percentage. This season’s wins, GAA and save percentage all improved upon a rookie campaign in the 2020-21 season that ended in the Clarkson University commit being named to the USHL’s Second Team All-Rookie roster.
During his youth hockey career, Croteau played for St. John Bosco High School and the Jr. Reign 18U team in 2019-20.
