Aerin Frankel is an American ice hockey goaltender, currently playing with the Northeastern Huskies of the NCAA. She has been cited as one of the best current collegiate goaltenders and a highly promising prospect for the American national team.[1][2] In March 2021, she was named the recipient of the Patty Kazmaier Award.[3]

Career[]

Raised in Briarcliff, New York, Frankel began skating at the age of four, becoming a goaltender at the age of nine.[4] During high school, she played for Shattuck-Saint Mary's preparatory, winning three national titles and finishing with a 1.10 goals against average, a .945 save percentage, and 39 shutouts.[5][6]

In 2017, she began attending Northeastern University, serving as the starting goaltender for the university's women's ice hockey programme.[7] She posted a .934 SV% in her rookie collegiate year, leading all NCAA rookies.[8] She then posted a 28-save shutout in opening game of the 2018–19 season, becoming the first goaltender to shutout Boston University since Florence Schelling in 2011. The Huskies would go on to win a second consecutive WHEA Championship that year. In the 2019–20 season, she set Northeastern records for GAA, SV%, shutouts, and wins, her .958 SV% leading the NCAA.[9] She was named a top-10 finalist for the 2020 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award as well as the Beanpot's best goaltender, and was named Hockey East Goaltender of the Year for the second year in a row.[10][11]

International career[]

Frankel made her senior American national team debut at the 2019-20 Rivalry Series, picking up her first senior international win in December 2019.[12] She was named to the American roster for the 2020 IIHF Women's World Championship before the Championship was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[13]
