Jon Howe had one of the best performances of his career a couple of weeks ago, recording a career-best 44 saves as Saint John’s blanked nationally ranked UW-River Falls<\/p>\n

It was only the fourth game of the year for the Johnnies, and a big one because it avenged a season-opening loss to the Falcons.<\/p>\n

“It was huge for us and we were able to get revenge. It helped build a lot of confidence,” Howe said.<\/p>\n

Howe has appeared in three games this season for the Johnnies, sharing time in the net with Bailey Huber.<\/p>\n

His record is 3-0 and he has tallied 105 saves, and he is quick to credit the added experience for his success so far in the 2024-25 campaign.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s just another year of experience under my belt,” Howe said.<\/p>\n

The junior goalie also credits the knowledge he’s gained from new goalie coach Noora Raty, who is also an assistant coach with St. Cloud State’s women’s team.<\/p>\n

Howe can’t go wrong learning from Raty, who has been to the Olympics four times with Finland, winning bronze twice, while also winning two national championships with Minnesota.<\/p>\n

“She goes through video and it’s been great talking with her about different ways to play certain situations in a game,” Howe said. “She’s been a big help in developing my game to the next level.”<\/p>\n

Howe is playing college hockey in his home state, graduating from Totino-Grace High School where he won 19 games as a senior in 2019.<\/p>\n

After playing junior hockey in the NAHL, he went to Saint John’s and won twice in the seven games he played in as a freshman.<\/p>\n

Last year, Howe started 12 of the 13 games he played in, winning six games and sporting a 2.32 goals against average.<\/p>\n

Howe has continued to progress into this season.<\/p>\n

“I’ve definitely gained more confidence and I’m feeling more comfortable out there,” Howe said. “Last year was a good year for me personally, and I’ve continued to carry that confidence into this year.”<\/p>\n

Trusting his teammates has helped as well.<\/p>\n

“I have a lot of confidence in the guys in front of me. It makes my job a lot easier to do,” Howe said.<\/p>\n

Playing goalie has always been something Howe has enjoyed. He started in the position while in mites and hasn’t looked back.<\/p>\n

“I fell in love with it and stayed with it,” Howe said. “You get to be on the ice the whole time and you are a big part of how the game goes. It’s a great feeling.”<\/p>\n

The Johnnies were 5-2 heading into Thanksgiving, including a 3-1 mark in the always tough MIAC.<\/p>\n

“It’s a tight league and every weekend is a challenge,” Howe said. “You have to be ready to play because every weekend is like playoff hockey.”<\/p>\n

Howe is looking forward to helping the Johnnies keep their early-season momentum going.<\/p>\n

“I just have to stay in shape and stay healthy, and as long as we continue to play with confidence as a team, we have a chance to have a really good year,” Howe said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
