Hard Work Pays off For Hrynkiw
This past weekend, UND walk-on goalie Matt Hrynkiw started his first game since April 12, 2013. For those that are wondering. Hrynkiw was a member of the Humboldt Broncos of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.
Hrynkiw came to UND as a depth/practice goalie to start the 2013-14 season. During this first two seasons at UND, Hrynkiw practiced but never played in a regulation game. Having watched him in practice the last few years, Hrynkiw has definitely improved a lot.
Hrynkiw’s hard work finally that work has paid off. When UND starting goalie Cam Johnson went down with a lower-body at the end of the second period, in last Friday’s game. Hrynkiw stopped 10-of-12 shots in relief.
Hrynkiw got the win on Saturday night stopping 17-of-19 shots. Hrynkiw finished the weekend 1-0-1, with a 1.72 GAA and a .879 Sv%.
