Lorne Howes

[1] After finishing his junior career with the Barrie Flyers, which included winning the 1951 Memorial Cup, Howes received interest from the Boston Bruins but he decided to play college hockey instead.

[3] His senior season turned out even better and Howes led Michigan to a first-place finish with an 18–2–1 record, allowing just 43 goals in 21 games, and was named as a First Team All-American.

The Wolverines faced a tough opponent in St. Lawrence, who were eager to make up for their semifinal loss the year before, but Howes turned aside all but one of the Larries' shots and allowed Michigan to take the game in overtime.

The Wolverines again made the tournament that season but without Howes in net the team surrendered 13 goals to Colorado College in the final, losing a chance for a second three-peat.

[7] Howes was the last in a line of great goaltenders that Heyliger brought to Ann Arbor and it would be many years before the Wolverines could again boast that level of talent in net.
