The University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown would like to congratulate Mike Inman on his successful and outstanding career for the Icecats.  Mike will be graduating in December 2009 and will be pursuing his Master’s Degree and starting his professional career in the workplace.

Inman’s overall record, in his 95 games played, is 54 wins and 41 losses posting a Goals Against Average of 3.61 and a save percentage .917. Inman was selected to participate in the College Hockey East All-Star game and Skills Competition 3 years in a row.  In 2008-2009, Mike was the first goaltender in College Hockey East history to receive the Kevin Du Mond award, which is the Most Valuable Player of the CHE All-Star game.  Also in 2008-2009, Inman was selected as an All-Atlantic Region team member as a result of his play throughout the entire season, including a stellar performance at the ACHA Regional Championships in Philadelphia, PA.  Inman was the starting goaltender for the Icecats during their highest final ranking (11^th) at the ACHA National Tournament in 2006, held in Ft. Myers, Florida.

The Pitt-Johnstown Icecats have qualified for the CHE playoffs 9 consecutive seasons.  The previous 4 playoff appearances were spearheaded by the play of Inman in net.  Coach Layman: “Mike Inman has been a huge, probably the largest, factor contributing to our success, regionally and nationally, the past 4 seasons.  Mike has stolen and won games when we were outshot, outworked and outplayed.  Amongst many, one game that comes to mind is the first regular season game in the 2008-2009 season, a 4-3 win against Robert Morris University, in which Mike stood on his head the entire game, stopping 55 of 58 shots including many breakaways and point blank one-timers.

Mike has been a team leader on the ice and in the locker room.  The combination of his leadership and on-ice ability will be greatly missed and I wish him the best of luck in his future.”
