INDEPENDENCE, MISSOURI - The ECHL on Thursday announced that Josh Robinson of the Missouri Mavericks is the recipient of the Warrior Hockey ECHL Goaltender of the Year award for the 2015-16 season.

"It is a big honor to receive such an incredible award, but none of this would be possible without the great support I have had all season from the Mavericks coaching staff, my teammates' incredible play around me, and of course our fans," said Josh Robinson. "Individual awards are the product of great team success and I owe everything to the guys in our locker room."

The Warrior Hockey Goaltender of the Year award is presented annually to the goaltender selected to be the best at his position as determined in a vote of ECHL coaches, broadcasters, media relations directors and media members.

Robinson, who was named to the All-ECHL First Team last week, posted a league-leading 1.88 goals-against average - which ranks as the fourth-best in a single-season ECHL history - and a league-best .931 save percentage while ranking second with 28 wins.

The 26-year-old went 28-2-1 during the regular season and posted a personal 21-game winning streak from Nov. 4 through Feb. 14, setting a new league record for the longest winning streak by a goaltender. Robinson allowed two goals or less in 22 of his 31 starts during the regular season.
