REGINA, SK – Flin Flon Bombers’ netminder Charlie Tritt has been named a finalist for the CJHL Top Goaltender Award, the league announced Thursday.
Tritt, 21, posted a 23-9-2 record, a 2.12 goals-against average and a .934 save percentage in 34 regular-season appearances this past year, split between the Humboldt Broncos and the Bombers.
He then earned a record of 11-3-0 in 14 post-season contests en route to helping Flin Flon to the Canterra Seeds Cup title. Tritt was almost unbeatable in the UPL SJHL Playoffs, posting a 1.67 goals-against average and a .938 save percentage.
Tritt is committed to Lake Superior State University, an NCAA Division I school in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.
He was also named the SaskTel SJHL Goaltender of the Year this past campaign.
A native of Vancouver, BC, Tritt has appeared in 107 regular-season junior games and 22 post-season contests, split among the BCHL, NAHL, PIJHL, and SJHL.
He was originally signed in 2022 by the Junior B North Vancouver Wolf Pack out of the Burnaby Winter Club of the CSSHL.
Tritt was acquired by the Broncos last off-season from the Chippewa Steel of the NAHL, and then by the Bombers at the Jan. 10 CJHL Trade Deadline.
He now looks to backstop the Bombers to the 2026 Centennial Cup National Junior A title in Prince Edward Island, starting on May 7.
