Blake Pietila (born January 27, 2000) is an American professional ice hockey goaltender for the Kalmar HC of the HockeyAllsvenskan.
Once he arrived in Houghton, Pietila found himself relegated to spot duty as he acclimated to the college game.
Despite the ongoing Covid problems, Pietila ended up playing the majority of the minutes and posted outstanding numbers for the Huskies.
Pietila set a program record with 7 shutouts during the season but his exploits couldn't help the Huskies overcome Minnesota Duluth in the tournament as his team was unable to score.
While breaking his program with 10 shutouts during the season, Pietila was named as the CCHA Player of the Year and a first team All-American.
