Press Release

CALGARY, AB. – The Western Hockey League announced today that Jordan Cooke, of the Kelowna Rockets, has been named the VAUGHN WHL Goaltender of the Month for December.

The 19 year-old goaltender from Leduc, AB, posted a 6-0-0-0 record through December and is currently on an 11 game win streak (Nov. 23 – present).  Cooke’s 2.00 goals-against average led all WHL goaltenders (minimum 300 minutes played) while posting 0.908 save percentage, allowing just 12 goals on 131 shots-against in 360 minutes played.  His efforts also earned him a Three Star selection two times, with one being a 1st Star.

His accomplishments make Jordan Cooke a deserving choice as the VAUGHN WHL Goaltender of the Month for December.
