History
Tyler Plante had an exceptional rookie season for the Brandon Wheat Kings in 2004-05. The local product had a regular season record of 34-11-2 with a 2.58 goals against average and .907 save percentage. His 34 victories were third highest in the league, just two wins short of the top spot claimed by Seattle’s Bryan Bridges.
Along the way the 6’2.5 keeper recorded six shutouts, setting a new team record edging out Josh Harding’s five perfect games from last year. Notably for Plante, half of those shutouts came while the Wheat Kings were on the road, a sign that he can rise to the challenge in the tough games.
Plante struggled a bit in the playoffs but still had a better than .500 record going 13-11 with a 2.94 GAA and .911 save percentage. His stats really took a pounding after being lit up for six goals on 20 shots by the Calgary Hitmen in the first game of their second round series. The Wheat Kings lost to Kelowna in the WHL finals, which included an 8-3 pasting in the last game where Plante was in net for each goal.
