I\'m joined today by an up and coming young prospect who was drafted in 2016, 75th overall in the 3rd round by the Carolina Hurricanes. Jack LaFontaine is a goaltender who grew up in Mississauga, Ontario. He has currently found himself a home in Minneapolis, MN as the starting goaltender for the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers, who are currently 10-0, with Jack starting 9 of those games and boasting a 1 GAA to lead the NCAA.

Jack\'s journey to Minnesota wasn\'t a direct one, and as you\'ll hear in his story, he had stops in MIchigan and Penticton before landing a spot on the Gophers roster. Jack has had to endure a few set backs and hurdles but his character, his drive, his passion and his perseverance have rounded him out to be not only the leading goaltender in the country, but more importantly, a humble and hard working team player.

I really enjoyed this interview and I wish Jack and the Gophers continued success in their quest for a national championship!
