COHEN: Spencer Knight & Cameron Rowe; An NHL Entry Draft Goaltending Tandem

Spencer Knight was the starting goalie for the NTDP. He’s a slam dunk first round pick. He’s the top-ranked goalie in the draft and many think he’s a future No. 1 goaltender.

Cameron Rowe was the backup goalie with the NTDP. No goalie intends to be the No. 2. He’ll get a chance at some point to be the No. 1 goalie at the University of North Dakota.

Knight grew up in Darien, Connecticut. Ryan Shannon (he won a Stanley Cup with the Anaheim Ducks) and Hugh Jessiman (drafted by the New York Rangers) hails from Darien. I think it’s fair to say that Knight could soon be the best hockey player to come out of Darien if everything hits right.

He played high school prep hockey at Avon Old Farms. Some of their famous NHL alumni are Brian Leetch, Jonathan Quick, Cam Atkinson, Nick Bonino, Matt Martin,
