BOSTON – The Hockey Commissioners Association (HCA) has honored Army West Point junior JJ Cataldo (Stuart, Fla.) as co-Goaltender of the Month for October, the HCA announced Friday. Cataldo led the Black Knights to a 4-0-0 start in Atlantic Hockey America (AHA) play, their best in program history, including consecutive shutouts to end the month.

Cataldo, who was also named the AHA Goaltender of the Month, leads all AHA goaltenders in wins (5), goals-against average (1.49), save percentage (.945) and shutouts (two, tied). He has won five games in a row, including all four of his conference starts and a road win at top-10 Quinnipiac on Oct. 23.

Cataldo posted consecutive shutouts for the first time in his career Oct. 30 and 31 against RIT, stopping all 50 shots he faced in the two games. 

He is the first AHA goaltender to earn HCA Goaltender of the Month honors since January 2024 (RIT’s Tommy Scarfone).

Cataldo and Army are at Air Force to renew the service academies’ rivalry this Friday (7:05 p.m. MT) and Saturday (5:05 p.m. MT). Both games can be seen on FloHockey.
