With a glovehand like Flyers’ Carter Hart, it was only fitting for a Goaltending star in Trevor Babin to win the final game for the Delaware Thunder

What more can anyone say about Trevor Babin. The guy places the team on his back night after night, and it was only fitting for him to win the Delaware Thunder’s final game of the season 5-4 over the Danbury Hat Tricks. Babin made 53 saves on 57 shots faced, which was good enough for a .930 Save Percentage.

Much like Carter Hart, Babin has a really good glovehand. He’s like a a magician, as he waives his glove hand in the air to capture the puck in his mitt.

Babin hails from Philadelphia, PA and hockey was in his blood practically from birth. Living in Philadelphia, one could only think that he is a huge Flyers fan, and he may have fine-tuned his skills in Voorhees, NJ at the Flyers practice rink at one time.

Babin, a 6’1 goalie took the next step in his hockey career, and is now a young prized possession of the Delaware Thunder. His numbers do not do him justice for just how good he has been, as he owns a .891 Save Percentage in 49 games played. Babin has been peppered with 45 to 55 shots a night. The guy has been a stone wall for the most part.

The young prized possession of the Thunder in Babin is just 23-years-old. He is a goaltender that Charlie Pens Sr. I’m sure wanted as soon as he could make him an offer. Babin has a history of success having won an EHL championship, is a former two time GMHL All-Star, and was recognized as a GMHL Goalie of the Year for his efforts.

The young 23-year-old in Babin has made 40 save performances seem like it’s a routine thing for the Thunder. As a matter of fact, Babin finished the season with 1,467 saves to be exact in 49 games played this season, which was good enough for facing an average of 33 shots per game. In short, that’s a ton of shots, and a lot of weight on his shoulders.

Babin was phenomenal for the Thunder between the pipes, so hopefully the team can start reaping the benefits here in the future. His unselfish play catapulted him into a fan favorite in Harrington, Delaware.
