Another Sharks goaltender has committed to play hockey at the next level.

 

Second year goaltender Shelby Tornato is having a solid year in the crease, leading the league in saves made with 543.

 

She will be bringing her talents to Minot State University, a division two school of the ACHA (American Collegiate Hockey Association). The Saskatoon native will be studying Speech and Language while anchoring the crease for the Beavers.

 

“Shelby is someone that wants to be better and strives for improvement in her game on and off the ice,” Head Coach Ashley Rafuse says, “She possesses many leadership qualities that a coach often desires in a player and uses them to continually push her teammates to be their best. Shelby is very passionate about the game of hockey and not only exudes that on the ice but in the community as well, often volunteering in any way she can.”

 

Tornato is sporting a .898 save percentage this season and is primed to contribute heavily in the playoffs.
