Goalie of the Month – Matthew Spencer-Dahl, Sioux Lookout Bombers
In all honesty both Sioux Lookout goalies have had a very good argument to win the award but Spencer-Dahl had the slightest of edges. The 05 goaltender posted stellar numbers with a 1.62 goals against average and a .955 save percentage. Spencer-Dahl also posted back to back 40 save games against Kam River securing a win and a shootout loss. This is Spencer-Dahl’s 2nd time winning the award as he also brought it home in November.
