Bio
The Gutter RDP Athlete of the Week for March 4, 2024
Goaltender Izzy Palumbo was outstanding in net for the Red Deer Polytechnic Queens Hockey team in its best-of-three semi-final against the NAIT Ooks. Despite the Ooks edging the RDP Queens two games to one, the third-year netminder from Golden gave her team an opportunity to win. Over three playoff games, Palumbo made 88 saves (0.936), showing poise and determination.
In Friday’s 3-2 home victory, Palumbo turned aside 30 shots (0.938) and was named the North Star Sports Queens Player of the Game. On Saturday, the Bachelor of Commerce student had a tremendous road game, making 32 saves (0.941) in NAIT’s 2-1 decision. Then Palumbo stopped 26 shots (0.929) in the Ooks’ 2-0 win on Sunday. Throughout the series, she read and tracked the puck well, especially with a lot of traffic in front of her net.
Congratulations!
Mr. Mikes RDP Athlete of the Week for March 13, 2023
After a stellar weekend in goal, goaltender Izzy Palumbo is this week’s Queens Athlete of the Week. She was huge for the Queens Hockey team this past week as she steered aside 48 shots and just let in two goals in the two playoff games against the Lakeland College Rustlers. Palumbo needed to be on her game. Between her and the Rustlers goaltender, she had more work as the Queens were outshot in both games. But it was the stellar performance that made Palumbo stand out from the other goaltender as she backstopped her team to a 2-0 series victory and a chance to win a second consecutive championship trophy. She also came up big when her team committed errors in the defensive zone. The Polytechnic is the defending champions after they swept the Olds College Broncos in last year’s final.
In the regular season, the Golden native just allowed six goals in five starts, had a 0.84 goals-against-average, a .944 save percentage and three shutouts.
Congratulations Izzy and we look forward to cheering you on this weekend as you and the Queens fight for another championship!
