TORONTO - The Toronto Marlies have signed suspended NCAA goaltender Dryden McKay to a two-year American Hockey League contract.

EPRinkside thinks he could improve on his edges and add a little bit of strength ($), but in terms of taking a swing on a goalie, there doesn’t seem to be much risk for a player as successful as McKay was at the NCAA level. The one note about McKay worth mentioning is that he was recently suspended for six months by the United States Anti-Doping Agency for testing positive for a banned substance. Over his four-year career, McKay posted a 113-20-4 record with 34 shutouts, a 1.46 GAA, and a save percentage of .932. McKay holds the NCAA record for most career shutouts, having broken Ryan Miller’s record, which stood for two decades. He was named to the All-Rookie team of his conference as a freshman and then was named All-First Team three straight seasons from 2020 through 2022. McKay won a goaltending competition his freshman season, and after snaring the starting role, he never looked back. McKay is a 24-year-old goaltender who has been the most vaunted and storied netminder in NCAA hockey for several years now.
