WOLF NAMED USA HOCKEY'S GOALTENDER OF THE YEAR

CALGARY - Flames prospect Dustin Wolf has been tabbed as this year's recipient of the USA Hockey Dave Peterson Goaltender of the Year.

The award is "chosen from the pool of American-born goaltenders who play at the junior level each year. The award, presented by Bauer Hockey, is named in honor of the late Dave Peterson, a passionate leader in goaltender development who twice coached the U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team."

He is now the first California native to win the award.

During the 2019-20 season, the Everett Silvertips netminder put together a 34-10-2 record with a 1.88 GAA and a .935 save percentage. His nine shutouts led all goaltenders in the WHL. He was named the WHL's Goaltender of the Year earlier this spring.

Wolf represented USA Hockey at the 2020 IIHF World Junior Championship, picking up a 6-3 win over Germany in the tournament. He also participated in the 2019 Hlinka Gretzky Cup, finishing with a 2-1-0 record.

The goaltender, who was selected by the Flames in the seventh round (214th overall) in the 2019 NHL Draft, has appeared in 127 regular season games for Everett, recording a career 88-31-6 record with a 1.85 GAA and a .934 save percentage. He has 20 shutouts in his junior career, which is currently tied for fifth all-time in WHL history.

The Flames signed him to an entry-level contract on May 1.
