LAKE ST. LOUIS, MO--- The United Hockey League (UHL) announced Wednesday that Kevin St. Pierre of the Fort Wayne Komets has been named the 2006-07 Southern Sports Supply UHL Best Goaltender as selected by league head coaches, general managers, and members of the media.
The 32-year-old native of Sherbrooke, Quebec, completed the regular season with a 42-18-3 record to lead the UHL in wins. He ranked second among UHL goaltenders with a 2.24 goals against average (GAA), a .926 save percentage (SPCT) and five shutouts.

St. Pierre set several records this season including most appearances in goal by a Komets UHL goaltender (64) and the franchise record for shutouts (23).
