The Women\u2019s Hockey Commissioners Association has announced a watch list of 33 goaltenders for the title of 2025 National Women\u2019s Goalie of the Year.<\/p>\n

The award was created in 2021 to recognize the top female goalie in NCAA Division I hockey. Northeastern\u2019s Aerin Frankel, who graduated in 2022, was the recipient in the first two years the award was presented, followed by fellow Husky Gwyneth Philips in 2023 and Clarkson\u2019s Michelle Pasiechnyk last year.<\/p>\n

The goalies to watch come from all five NCAA Division I conferences with 17 from the United States, nine from Canada and seven from Europe (two from Finland and Sweden and one each from Austria, Denmark and Slovenia.)<\/p>\n

This initial watch list of outstanding goalies is comprised of those with a goals-against average of 2.10 or lower or a save percentage of .920 or higher. A committee of voters \u2014 made up of a cross section of coaches, administrators, and media \u2014 will pare this list down within the next two weeks and then ultimately choose the winner who will be announced in March during the NCAA Frozen Four.<\/p>\n

NOTE: The process allows for goalies not on this first list to be considered before the first vote.<\/em><\/p>\n
