Another goalie in the fold for the Black Bears
Shawn Sirman, a goalie with the Kingston Voyageurs of the Ontario Junior Hockey League, gave a verbal commitment to the Black Bears over the weekend.
Sirman, 18, said this afternoon that he will sign a National Letter of Intent to play hockey at Maine this week, and anticipates joining the Black Bears in the fall.
"(Maine Assistant Coach) Dan Kerluke contacted me last week about coming to Maine and said that the Maine coaches were coming to watch me in Oakville," Sirman said. "Dan and Tim (Whitehead) both made the trip."
The National Letter of Intent signing period began Monday and ends on Sunday (April 12). Division I coaches are not allowed to comment on recruits until after they have received a recruit's signed National Letter of Intent.
In the regular season, Sirman went 21-5-0-3 with three shutouts, with a 2.36 goals-against average and a .926 saves percentage. In 21 playoff games, Sirman, is 17-4 with three shutouts, a 2.25 goals-against average and a .932 saves percentage.
Sirman will join goalies Scott Darling, Dave Wilson and Josh Seeley on Maine's roster. Maine has already received a verbal commitment from Matt McNeely, a goalie from Mendota Heights, Minn., who will join the program in the fall of 2011.
