St Lawrence Finds "Gem" in Goal; Outlaws Robby Moss
March 19, 2008 - North American Hockey League (NAHL) News Release
Since the 2007-08 North American Hockey League Season began in September at the NAHL Showcase, one goaltender emerged ahead of the pack. Numerous schools inquired about North Iowa's Robby Moss, but only one could grab the NAHL Top Goaltender. Tuesday night, only a day after returning from an official visit, St Lawrence University out of Canton, NY found the diamond in the rough as the Chesterfield, St Louis, Missouri native verbally committed to the Saints for the 2008-09 season.
"The coaches were straight forward with me," Moss said Wednesday. "They said they were going to do something and they did so I respect that a lot. On my visit things were handled in a professional matter, and with the way they treated me, I knew it was the right choice."
"We couldn't be happier for Robby," Coach Boitz added. "St Lawrence is getting a great kid, an outstanding player, and a all around hard working player. His college hockey career is going to be one to watch."
Since the opening games of the season, Moss has had a goals against average below 2 with a league's top save percentage of above .930% all season. Robby missed 10 games this season on two separate occasions with two different injuries, but he never missed a beat upon return to the line-up.
"Robby persevered through two freak injuries and never missed a beat," Coach Dave Boitz commented. "When he was out he worked hard on his rehab and was ready and focused so when the time came to get back in the game."
His numbers don't lie this season as he is third in the league in wins, but first in win percentage going 26-6-4 in 38 appearances, .736%. Moss leads the league with a 1.92% goals against average and a .940% save percentage, while recording 4 shutouts on the season.
"My main goal for the year was to win a national championship, be a top goalie in the league and get a college scholarship," Moss added. "It feels unbelievable that I accomplished two of them, and now I can put all my focus on the ultimate team goal."
