Fowler Named USHL Goaltender of the Year
The United States Hockey League (USHL) and Youngstown Phantoms announced that Jacob Fowler has been named Goaltender of the Year for the 2022-23 season.
League awards are voted on by each member club’s General Manager after each club nominates their players for awards.
A Boston College commit, Fowler finished the 2022-23 campaign with a 27-9-3-1 record, 2.28 goals against average and .921 save percentage. He led all USHL goaltenders in wins, goals against average and save percentage. He tied for the league-lead with five shutouts and his 1,029 saves ranked fifth. Fowler had a season-high 43 saves in a 1-0 shutout victory at Muskegon Jan. 14.
A six-time USHL Goaltender of the Week over the course of the season, the Melbourne, Fla., native helped lead the Phantoms to a second-place finish in the USHL Eastern Conference regular-season standings and a bye in the first round of the 2023 Clark Cup playoffs.
Fowler is the first Youngstown Phantom to be named the recipient of the USHL Goaltender of the Year award.
