US College Overall
1. Hogan; 2. Peterson; 3. Loney; 4. Flinton; 5. Tuomainen; 6. Sinclair;
7. Murray; 8. Coughlin; 9. Aucoin; 10. Suk.
 
And, out of the QMJHL (Canadian Major Junior), the top-rated goalie is:
1. Emmanuel Fernandez, Laval (6-0/168, 12 GP, 5-6-0, 2.77 GAA)
 
This is the guy who was headed to Merrimack as a freshman this season and
at the last minute decided to accept an offer to play for Laval.  Merrimack
had him projected as their goalie of the future, for obvious reasons.  The
Warriors will graduate #1 man Steve D'Amore and backup Yannick Gosselin
after this season, and will be left with other backup Mike Doneghey who will
be a senior next year.  Doneghey will clearly be the man next year; after
him, who knows.  No word on whether The Staff has come up with anyone else yet.
