Garrett Forrest, Hockey, Ryerson
A stingy stretch of play for the Ryerson Rams men’s hockey team has them firing on all cylinders of late; a streak that continued into the team’s two games this past week thanks in large part to Garrett Forrest’s performance between the pipes.
Burlington, Ont. – Garrett Forrest has been named Ontario University Athletics (OUA) Male Athlete of the Week for the period ending November 10, 2019.
Male Athlete of the Week – Garrett Forrest, Ryerson Rams, Hockey
A stingy stretch of play for the Ryerson Rams men’s hockey team has them firing on all cylinders of late; a streak that continued into the team’s two games this past week thanks in large part to Garrett Forrest’s performance between the pipes.
Forrest’s fantastic play was a sparkplug for the Rams’ latest two victories. On Wednesday night, the second-year net minder stopped 28 of 30 shots he saw in regulation and overtime, then stopped all three shootout skaters as Ryerson beat Nipissing 3-2. Forrest then stopped 21 of 22 shots he faced on Saturday night as Ryerson beat the defending OUA champion Queen's Gaels. The Ashburn, VA native proved time and time again that he was up to any challenge thrown his way, even when staring down a trio of shootout attempts, and racked up a .942 save percentage as a result.
Overall, Forrest has now won four straight games and his 1.85 goals against average this season now ranks him 3rd in the OUA.
