Also worth noting that Shantz's great season was, statistically, no better than Irving's off season. But really, good for him! The Flames only signed Shantz because they made an obligation to put a goaltender in Victoria. He took that opportunity and turned himself from an ECHL player into an AHL player. That he was able to advance his career in this fashion speaks highly of both his work ethic and the capability of the coaching staff in Abbotsford.
