Dawgs Game Notes vs. Ice Bears
Additionally, the Dawgs made one transaction on Saturday. The team has added local goalie Justin Gortman as an emergency backup goaltender prior to tonight’s game.
Gortman played three seasons at Liberty University (ACHA) from 2012-2015, and had played junior level hockey in the EmJHL, NAPHL, and MNJHL before his college career. The six-foot goaltender lives in the Roanoke Valley with his wife, working as a full-time multimedia consultant. He also owns and operates his own videography business that specializes in commercial, wedding, and real estate videography. Gortman has notably appeared in net for the ‘Hoses’ team for the annual Guns and Hoses game here in Roanoke, and has been added as an EBUG multiple times for Roanoke in the past.
