GIANTS’ MINER NAMED WHL GOALTENDER OF THE WEEK

By Devin Himpe | Western Hockey League | October 9, 2018

Calgary, Alta. – The Western Hockey League announced today that Vancouver Giants goaltender Trent Miner has been named the Eli Wilson Goaltending WHL Goaltender of the Week and league nominee for the Vaughn CHL Goaltender of the Week for the week ending October 7, 2018.

Miner sported a 2-0-0-0 record, 1.00 goals-against-average, stopped 54 of 56 shots for a 0.964 save percentage and earned his first career WHL shutout to keep the Giants undefeated on the road in the 2018-19 WHL Regular Season and at the top of the B.C. Division.

In his first start of the season Wednesday against the Kelowna Rockets, Miner stopped all 21 shots sent his way for the shutout in a 5-0 victory. The first clean sheet of his WHL career, Miner stopped seven shots in the first, nine in the second, and five more in the third. Miner earned third star of the game honours for his efforts.

Saturday against the Prince George Cougars, Miner stopped 33 of 35 shots for another dominant performance. He stopped eight shots in the first, 11 in the second, and 14 in the third, securing the 3-2 victory.

The 6-foot-1, 179-pound product of Brandon, Man. is eligible for the 2019 NHL Draft. Originally selected by the Giants in first round, 20th overall, of the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft, Miner has appeared in 11 games with the Giants, sporting a 5-4-0-0 record, 3.53 GAA, 0.898 SV% and one shutout.

Miner has also appeared in three games during the 2018 WHL Playoffs, sporting a 1-2 record, 3.41 GAA and a 0.901 SV%. His WHL playoff debut, which came against the Victoria Royals on March 23, 2018, saw Miner stop 40 of 41 shots to earn the victory.

Miner and the Giants will return to the friendly confines of the Langley Events Centre on Friday, October 12 (7:30 p.m. PT) when they play host to the Kamloops Blazers.
