Shattering team records can present a daunting task,
especially when your predecessors include the likes of hockey
legend and six-time Stanley Cup champion Ken Dryden ’69 and a
handful of past first-team all-American net minders, such as David
LeNeveu ’05 and David McKee ’07.
However, junior goaltender Ben Scrivens has already established
the all-time school record for tallying 206:44 consecutive minutes
without permitting a goal and is on pace to shatter one, if not
two, other individual records during the course of the 2008-09
campaign. While individual accomplishments are always nice,
teammates of Scrivens also view them as an open invitation for some
friendly ribbing.
“I honestly didn’t really know about the streak
until…after the game,” Scrivens confessed.
“It’s always a nice feeling when you have personal
success. … I try to stay level-headed. Sometimes, it gets a
little bit tough when you get on a roll there. You get a little bit
more media attention and stuff like that, but the guys around you
have a pretty good way of keeping you level-headed. You get a
little bit of razzing if you get too many articles written on you
and stuff like that. They definitely help shrink the ego a little
bit.”
