The Pielmeier: Pielmeier ECHL Goalie of the Month




Timo Pielmeier
, who the Ducks acquired from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Travis Moen who now plays for the Montreal Canadiens and Kent Huskins who signed for at least another year with the Sharks. Goaltender Timo Pielmeier stayed in California NHL wise.

Today, Pielmeier is named the ECHL Goaltender of the Month, he has a 2.07 Goals Against Average .925 save percentage. He is 6-0-1; he was involved in the Condors winning streak winning four of five of his starts.


Pielmeier was solid in the Ducks Training Camp and one who quickly attached to Jonas Hiller especially since Hiller is fluent in German; Pielmeier was born in Dreggendorf, Deutschland (Germany). Pielmeier probably knows English but is most likely more comfortable in his first language like most people. Pielmeier was a future prospect for the San Jose Sharks, a team who has a gift at drafting goalies, but also have a tendency to trade great and upcoming prospects away. The Ducks were lucky to be one of those teams like said Timo Pielmeier came from the Sharks.

Pielmeier, 20, is an excellent goalie and he deserves in this honor of the ECHL for being Goaltender of the Month. Pielmeier ranks at number 9 for a goalie in the league with a 2.78 GAA. He ranks 3rd in the league with eight wins and just one shy of the ECHL lead.
