DiPietro is the first Spitfire to win the award
The Windsor Spitfire's are celebrating a big win this week well after their season finished.
Goaltender Michael DiPietro has been named the Goalie of the Year for the Ontario Hockey League.
"I owe a great deal of the credit to the people that support me," said DiPietro, an Amherstburg resident.
"My Mom and Dad, my teammates and the entire Spitfires organization. My coaches from way back, Brian Spearing and Perry Wilson."
Record setting season
DiPietro, 18, now holds the single-season franchise record for shutouts after blanking teams seven times for the Spitfires this season.
He'll be recognized at the OHL awards ceremony June 6 at The Hockey Hall of Fame.
