I'd guess that the reason for not including Lacher in CCHA honors is his
low number of minutes played. He was hurt for several game and then missed
some more games due to some strange illness. True he did have a fine finish
but he wasn't between the pipes for enough minutes. I would also suggest
that his absence was a factor in the Lakers' mid-season slump.
