The Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League (EOJHL) is pleased to announce that Dustin Riff of the Ottawa West Golden Knights has been named the 2025-26 EOJHL Top Goaltender.
The 2005-born Montreal, QC native delivered one of the most dominant seasons between the pipes in league history.
Riff appeared in 27 games for the Golden Knights, compiling a 16-6-3 record while allowing just 44 goals all season. He finished with a league-leading 1.65 goals-against average and an outstanding .947 save percentage — the highest among qualified goaltenders. His nine shutouts are a single season EOJHL record and further emphasized his consistency and ability to take over games.
Riff’s steady presence was instrumental in Ottawa West finishing second overall in the EOJHL standings and leading the league in team goals against (83).
The EOJHL Top Goaltender Award recognizes the netminder who demonstrates elite performance, consistency, and impact throughout the regular season.
The league congratulates Dustin and the Ottawa West Golden Knights on this well-earned honour.
