Tha Dalai Lama
Ethan Dahlmeir, Lakeville South
The very colorful color guy Todd Hauch coined him the Dalai Lama - partly because Lakeville South Goalie Ethan Dahlmeir's name and the other because he was so calm and makes everything look so easy.
Last weekend the second year goalie allowed only five goals in four games and was the first ever Goalie MVP in a YHH event. The big and athletic goalie stopped everything but the common cold down in Rochester (and there were a few with those). His calming presence helped the Cougars claim the Founders Cup on Sunday.
