Key Statistics: Scrivens played 90 percent of the team's minutes in net and started 35 of Cornell's 36 games. He finished the year with a .930 save percentage and 2.02 goals-against average.

What He Does: His numbers were even better in league play, in both save percentage (.932) and goals-against average (1.88). Scrivens ranked second in both categories in ECAC Hockey contests behind only Harvard's Kyle Richter. He also had four shutouts on the year.

The Bigger Picture: Scrivens was Cornell's clear number-one goalie as a sophomore and kept the job with strong play throughout the season. As a freshman he played second fiddle to Troy Davenport, but will enter this season as the incumbent starter between the pipes. Davenport returns for his senior season and incoming freshman Michael Garman led the Nanaimo Clippers of the British Columbia Hockey League to a regular-season title last year.
