Missouri Mavericks’ Josh Robinson named ECHL Goaltender of the Year

Josh Robinson of the Missouri Mavericks on Thursday was named the Warrior Hockey ECHL Goaltender of the Year 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 Robinson, who was voted to the All-ECHL first team last week. “Individual awards are the product of great team success and I owe everything to the guys in our locker room.”

The award is presented annually to the league’s top goaltender and is determined in a vote of ECHL coaches, broadcasters, media relations directors and media members.

Robinson finished the regular season with a league-leading 1.88 goals-against average, which ranks as fourth-best in a single season in ECHL history. He also had a league-best .931 save percentage and ranked second with 28 wins.

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