Powassan Voodoos goalie Owen Say has been named one of five goaltenders up for for the CJHL’s Top Goaltender Award for 2019-20.

In his first year in the NOJHL, Say was simply sensational.

In 36 appearances, the 18-year-old London product led all NOJHL netminders in victories with 31 and was also tops in save percentage at .941 along with three shutouts. Overall Say sported a goals-against-average of 1.90.

His record on the year was league-best 31-2-0-0 as he helped Powassan finish first overall in the 12-team NOJHL standings.

"You know it’s a huge honour to be selected 1 of 5 for goalie of the year," said Say.  

"With that being said I can’t thank the Voodoos for all that they’ve done for me over this past season, throughout the players, coaching staff, fans, everything. This season was an unbelievable experience that came along with a lot of individual and team success. But altogether, this group and this season will be something I’ll always remember for a very long time."

Say was a goaltender on the silver medal-winning Team Canada East at the World Junior A Challenge. He as also named the CJHL’s First Star of the Month for February going 7-0 with a 1.84 GAA and a .939 save mark in that span.
