Haun snags IHL Goaltender of the Month

Posted Tuesday, March 2, 2010

Fort Wayne, IN — The IHL announced Tuesday that Fort Wayne goaltender Tim Haun has been named the Meijer Goaltender of the Month for February, 2010.

Haun, 29, posted a league best 1.95 goals-against average appearing in seven games (5-1-0-0) and stopping 180 of 193 shots for a .933 save percentage.  The third-year netminder did not allow more than two goals in any single game and completed the month winning four straight appearances and riding a seven-game home winning streak. 

During the month Haun set a career high of 16 wins en route to a 9-1 home win over Port Huron Feb. 5.  Haun enters March on pace for a career year at 20-9-0-2 and leads IHL goalies with a 2.20 goals-against average and .922 save percentage after 32 games. 

This is the second time the Solsgirth, Manitoba native has been honored with the monthly award.  Haun was also named Goaltender of the Month for December of last year during his first season with Fort Wayne.  Haun has also snagged the Goaltender of the Week award three times this season.

It's the second straight Goaltender of the Month honor for a Fort Wayne goalie this year.  Nick Boucher was the IHL Goaltender of the Month for January.
