Tyler Wall

The numbers Wall put up this past season were rock solid with an 18-8-6 record, a .931 SV%, and a GAA of 2.10.

“We are excited that the Mike Richter Award Committee has acknowledged the outstanding work Tyler was able to accomplish this year,” said UMass Lowell Head Coach Norm Bazin. “Playing in front of a young defensive core that only included one upperclassmen, Tyler was able to give our team second and third chances to win games. He is truly a deserving nomination and no goaltender was more valuable to his team.”
