Then vote for him in the NCAA Frozen Four Skills Challenge.

The Frozen Four Skills Challenge will be held April 9 at Ford Field in Detroit and will highlight the “Friday Night at the Frozen Four.” At the event, there will also be a presentation of the Hobey Baker Memorial Award, the Hockey Humanitarian Award and the announcement of the American Hockey Coaches Association All-American teams.

By the end of the 2009-10 season, Gill could finish with a Western Michigan University record for save-percentage in a career with .914.

He also holds a school record for most shutouts in a career and is sixth all-time in WMU history with 37 wins and will surpass Brian Renfrew with three more wins this season.
