Sioux Falls Stampede News Release


Sioux Falls, SD--The Sioux Falls Stampede announced today that goaltender Eric Hartzell has committed to Quinnipiac University for the 2009-10 season.

A native of White Bear Lake, MN, Hartzell is in his second season with the Stampede. He is currently 13-15-2 on the year with a 3.16 GAA and a .906 save percentage. He ranks first in the league in total saves (882) and third in minutes played (1783:41).

Hartzell has been named USHL Goaltender-of-the-Week three times this season, including back-to-back weeks in January. He holds Stampede records for most shutouts in a season (5) and consecutive minutes played without allowing a goal (201:06), both set last season.
