Jeremy Swayman is a player that has flown up the board of goaltending prospects and is possibly one of the most intriguing for his team by sheer virtue of his consistency. Since his first year in Alaskan bantam, Swayman has remained one of the most impressive prospects to play his position for the sheer fact that his SV% has never dipped below a .910% in seasons where he’s played 10 or more games. Ever. Swayman’s ability to be a rock in net has, more than anything else, built his reputation.
Swayman’s year as the Black Bear’s starter was not only impressive because of the kind of teams UMaine would have to play every so often like BU, Northeastern and BC, but because he had almost zero help behind him, with backups Rob McGovern and Stephen Mundinger playing pretty poorly in their brief starts.
