A second round of recognition this season has sailed in from the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) for Revelstoke Grizzlies goalie Devin Degenstein.
The 19-year-old from Camrose, Alta., who boasts the KIJHL's highest save percentage and recently brought his team into the Okanagan Conference Final on a 3-0, 47-save shutout at Game 6 against the Princeton Posse, has yet again earned the league's Star of the Week crown.
Degenstein played 220 minutes his last four playoff games against Princeton, scoring three wins on a 0.82 goals-against average. His overall save percentage this season sits at 0.963, while lately against the Posse he notched 0.978.
Previously at Game 3, even in a m 0-4 Grizzlies loss to Princeton, Degenstein played the last 40 minutes to stop 19 of 20 shots. Game 4 saw him secure a 30-save shutout as Revelstoke came back in a 1-0 victory. And in Game 5's 5-2 triumph, Degenstein blocked 35 pucks.
