Judgements about goalies are always very subjective, and GAA and
SvPct often are as much a reflection of the rest of the team's
strength as the goalie's. I've seen every ECAC team (but of course,
not every team's goalie) at least once this year, and I've seen Soucy
three times in his career. From this miniscule sample, I would judge
him to be one of the best four goalies in the ECAC. The other three
on my list would be Chris Rogles, Neil Little, and Luigi Villa.
 
Purely anecdotally, Soucy turned in the second finest goaltending
performance I have ever seen when he and Parris Duffus dueled in a
1-0 Cornell victory at Lynah last year. (The best wasn't Duffus', it
was Doug Dadswell's 50-something save performance against Yale in the
1986 ECAC SF double-overtime thriller.)
 
I think that the ECAC has quietly emerged as an extremely strong
goaltenders' league, with, in addition to the above, Paul
Spagnoletti, Vern Guetens, and Tripp Tracy also playing very well.
I'm hoping that strong goaltending will backstop ECAC teams to some
victories in the national tournament. Who can forget Chris
Terreri's one man tear through the tourny in 1985?
