Canisius senior goaltender Charles Williams has been named a nominee for the 2017 Hobey Baker Award, foundation officials announced on Monday.
A native of Canton, Mich., Williams is a candidate for one of the most prestigious awards in all of college sports, given annually to the top player in NCAA Division I men's ice hockey.
A graduate transfer from Ferris State, Williams has been stellar in his first season with the Canisius program, compiling a 13-6-3 mark in 23 appearances between the pipes for the Griffs. He currently leads the nation in save percentage (.946) and ranks amongst the top 10 nationally in both goals against average (1.87/6th) and shutouts (3/T-8th).
Williams has allowed one goal or fewer in 10 of his 23 starts this season. He has made 30 or more saves in 13 contests and has recorded 40 or more stops on six occasions.
He stands one shutout away from matching the program’s single-season mark in that category and is on pace to establish new program single-season standards in both goals against average and save percentage.

I saw two games so far this year.

One he looked great in.

The other he looked like Rocky Farr.

Tough to say just yet.
