At Dartmouth: Almon, who will compete for time in goal this season comes off a solid freshman year. In 13 appearances, he recorded a team high 325 saves. Despite a 1-9-1 record, he finished the season with the lowest goals against average on the team, allowing 3.91 goals a game. Almon recorded his first collegiate victory in his Dartmouth debut, making 42 saves in the Big Green's 5-2 win at Merrimack (12/21). It was his first start and earned him ECAC Rookie of the Week honors. Almon has been called on to make more than 30 saves in a game four times and twice he has made more than 40. High School: Almon backstopped Belmont Hill to tournament victories at Lawrenceville in 1995 and at Nichols in 1994. Almon recorded a 15-5-4 record with a 1.83 goals against average his senior year. He was named the Boston Prep's Outstanding Goalie in 1996 and earned All-Independent School League honors in that same year. Personal: Eric says his favorite rink is Thompson Arena because "it is fun to play here when the stands are full and its better than any rink in the ECAC -- even Vermont." He looks up to his Uncle Allen as a role model because "he enjoyed life and he knew how to have fun." Eric enjoys following the Boston Bruins, while he also likes to eat stuffed quohogs. His favorite show is the Simpsons and his hobbies include fishing and painting. Eric's brother, Scott, was a member of the Princeton hockey team and graduated in 1995. |
