From the ECHL …

Idaho Steelheads netminder Richard Bachman has been named the Reebok Hockey ECHL Goaltender of the Week for October 26 to November 1.

Bachman, a rookie out of Colorado College, was 2-0-1 between the pipes with a goals-against average of 2.25 as Idaho took five of a possible six points in a weekend series against the Alaska Aces.

The 22-year-old is 4-0-1 on the season with a .909 save percentage. The four wins is tied for tops in the ECHL.

While this is the first league-wide honor for Bachman, it already marks the second time this year an Idaho goaltender has been honored for his play. Rejean Beauchemin was the ECHL’s Goaltender of the Week for his play on October 16 and 17.
