Lush named AJHL’s top goalie

Luke Lush of the Drayton Valley Thunder is the 2018-19 Top Goaltender for the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

Lush becomes the first Thunder goaltender to receive the award presented to the goalie who demonstrated the greatest ability in his position throughout the season.

The Sherwood Park native has been an impact player for the Thunder since arriving in a trade from the Camrose Kodiaks with a record of 21-13-5, including three shutouts. Lush has played the fourth most minutes of all AJHL goaltenders (2,468) this season and recorded the second most saves (1,250). 

With just two games remaining in the regular season, Lush is second among all AJHL goaltenders with a .919 save percentage and holds a 2.67 GAA. 

Lush was recently named to the 2019 Inter Pipeline AJHL All-Academic Team and was recognized as the Alberta Ford Dealers AJHL Defensive Player of the Week in two consecutive weeks during November 2018.
