Dash Lamitie

Prep Nationals Semifinal Standout

Lamitie and English might have been the two best players between the two games. The former was out of this world in the Salisbury cage, and he definitely got into Brunswick shooters’ heads with some of the stops that he made. The future Blue Jay had an outrageous 1v1 robbery on a breakaway in the third quarter when the Bruins had some juice going for a comeback. Lamitie stopped a high shot while also falling down to the ground, and it was a completely absurd save.

Brunswick repeatedly tested him low, and that’s akin to simply rolling him the ball and asking him to start the break for the Crimson Knights. Lamitie has to be 6-3 or 6-4, but he drops so smoothly and effortlessly to take away the low shots. He excelled in the clearing game, was very vocal and repeatedly came up with every big save to shut off any attempt at a Brunswick comeback.

“I try to think about if I can make the first save, I can make the rest,” Lamitie said. “Our close D, poles and short-stick D-middies played a great game. We held them to the shots we wanted and gave me the best looks I could have at saving them. I’m just proud of this team.”

Lamitie has the prototypical size for the position with a 6-3, 180-pound frame. That, coupled with his athleticism and flair for dramatic saves, endeared him a lot to college coaches throughout the summer. For a bigger body, he moves extremely well, particularly from post-to-post. Simply put, he can get to shots that other goalies can’t. Lamitie has excellent hand speed and rebound control, and if he can put it all together consistently, he’s got as high of upside as anyone in the class.
