Aerin Frankel (born May 24, 1999) is an American professional ice hockey goaltender for the Boston Fleet of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) and member of the United States women's national ice hockey team. She was one of the best goaltenders in women's NCAA history.[1][2] She won the Patty Kazmaier Award in 2021.[3] She is a two-time recipient of the WHCA National Goalie of the Year award and was the inaugural winner in 2021.[4] In 2023, Frankel won gold with the United States women's national ice hockey team at the 2023 IIHF Women's World Championship in Brampton, Ontario.

Playing career

[edit]

Frankel was raised in Briarcliff, New York, and is Jewish.[5] She began skating at the age of four, becoming a goaltender at the age of nine.[6] During high school, she played for Shattuck-Saint Mary's preparatory, winning three national titles and finishing with a 1.10 goals against average, a .945 save percentage, and 39 shutouts.[7][8]

In 2017, she began attending Northeastern University, serving as the starting goaltender for the university's women's ice hockey programme.[9] She posted a .934 SV% in her rookie collegiate year, leading all NCAA rookies.[10] She then posted a 28-save shutout in opening game of the 2018–19 season, becoming the first goaltender to shutout Boston University since Florence Schelling in 2011. The Huskies would go on to win a second consecutive WHEA Championship that year. In the 2019–20 season, she set Northeastern records for GAA, SV%, shutouts, and wins, her .958 SV% leading the NCAA.[11] She was named a top-10 finalist for the 2020 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award as well as the Beanpot's best goaltender, and was named Hockey East Goaltender of the Year for the second year in a row.[12][13]

International career

[edit]

Frankel made her senior American national team debut at the 2019-20 Rivalry Series, picking up her first senior international win in December 2019.[14] She was named to the American roster for the 2020 IIHF Women's World Championship before the Championship was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[15]

Frankel served as the primary goaltender at the 2023 IIHF Women's World Championship, where the United States captured gold. Over six games, Frankel earned a 5-0-1 record and compiled a .931% save percentage and 1.48 GAA average.[16] Frankel earned a shutout in a 3–0 win over Germany in the quarterfinal round of the tournament. Frankel became the first U.S. women's goalie to start five consecutive games at an Olympics or worlds in 26 years.[17]
