Providence College men's hockey junior goaltender Jon Gillies (South Portland, Maine) has been named a nominee for the 2015 Mike Ricter Award, which honors the most outstanding goaltender in NCAA Div. I.

The second annual Mike Ricter Award, which announced its official list of 28 nominees on Feb. 27, is presented by Let's Play Hockey and the Herb Brooks Foundation. The award will be presented by Mike Ricter at the 2015 Frozen Four (Boston, Mass.).

Gillies, who was also nominated for the 2014 Mike Ricter Award, finished the 2014-15 regular season with a 19-11-2 overall record, a 2.00 goals-against average and a .929 save percentage to go along with four shutouts. His 2.00 goals-against average ranks 12th in the nation (fifth amongst goaltenders with at least 1,800 minutes played) and his save percentage also ranks 12th in the country.

In Hockey East play, Gillies posted a 12-8-1 record and led the league in goals-against average (1.74) and save percentage (.939). His GAA is tied for the seventh best goals-against average in the single season Hockey East record book, while his save percentage is the sixth-best mark in league history.

Gillies and the Friars finished the regular season with a 21-11-2 record (13-8-1 HEA) and tied for second in the Hockey East standings. After a first round bye, No. 2 seeded Providence will host a best-of-three quarterfinal series at Schneider Arena on March 13-15.
