Man in the Mirror: Kraws' Fiercest Competitor

TEMPE -- The starting lineup is simple: three forwards. Two defensemen. One goaltender. On Friday and Saturday night's in the college hockey world, there are only 64 players who get to skate out as the goaltender for a Division I program. Thousands grow up wanting to be one of 64, but some things aren't so simple. For viewers, it could seem like an easy role: flash the leather, do the splits, play as the last line of defense, but goaltenders are revered in victory and alone in loss. Great goaltenders, like Ben Kraws, make all of that look easy.
