Dallas Stars sign Quebec Major Junior Hockey League Goaltender Max Lagace: NHL Reports
Dallas Stars have signed Max Lagace, a 19-year-old teenage goaltender who signed his entry-level contract with them. Lagace played for Prince Edward Island Rocket (P.E.I Rocket) in the Quebec Major-Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) where he had a great last season.
He had a goals-against average (GAA) of 4.51, save percentage (SV%) of 0.867.
The 6-foot-2 goaltender, weighing at 168 pounds, played 2911 minutes and 58 seconds in the season, making him finish 6th in the list of most minutes played, made 1422 saves, making him finish 4th on the list of goaltenders who made
most saves and had 1641 shots against him, making him 4th in the list of goaltenders who had most shots taken against them.
The signing of Max Lagace was made because the seat of a reserve goaltender was empty and they needed someone in that position. That seat was empty because their previous reserve goaltender Andrew Raycroft of Canada had signed with Italian side Hockey Milano
Rossoblu, which is playing in the Serie A, highest level of the Italian competition.
Raycroft had short time of periods with five teams of the National Hockey League (NHL) and the list goes like, Boston Bruins, Toronto Maple Leafs, Colorado Avalanche, Vancouver Canucks and Dallas Stars. But he could not get much of the chances with any of
the above mentioned teams. He made most appearances with Boston Bruins where he made 108 appearances across the period of five seasons.
32-year-old, Belleville, Ontario resident made 91 appearances for Toronto Maple Leafs, 31 appearances for Colorado Avalanche, 21 appearances for Vancouver Canucks and 29 appearances for Dallas Stars. And collectively he made 280 appearances in the NHL, had
an almost 50% win loss ratio as he won 113 games and lost 114 of them. The 6-foot-1, 185 pounder goaltender played 15192 minutes, had 732 goals against him, goals against average (GAA) of 2.85 and save percentage (SV) of .900%.
Longueuil, Quebec resident was a part of Dallas Stars development camp and was also one of three goaltenders selected by Canada for Hockey Challenger series against Russia, an event that would replace Canada’s junior team summer development camp.
