Team: Jake Kupsky

Fantasy Summary

Lanky goaltender with an NHL sized frame. Shows stretches of encouraging play but has yet to show he can perform consistently as a starter.


Observations

Click to Expand

August 2019 – Kupsky has not signed an entry level contract since finishing his senior year of NCAA hockey. After losing the Union College starting gig to freshman goalie, Darion Hanson, it does not seem likely he will earn a contract. Chris Legg

 

December 2018 – Kupsky appears to have lost the starting job for the NCAA’s Union College, for
now. Union has been playing Kupsky and sophomore goalie Darion Hanson in a 1A/ 1B type
split for most of the season. However, Hanson has been on fire recently and Kupsky’s .891 SV% isn’t
going to earn him any extra starts. As a senior, losing the starting job in the NCAA is not a good sign with
regards to Kupsky’s potential fantasy value. Chris Legg

 

June 2018 – After a rough couple of seasons as primarily a backup goalie, Kupsky managed to grab the starting job this year in his third season with Union College of the NCAA. Kupsky was awarded ECAC hockey’s goalie of the month in February after a hot streak in which he went 6-0-1 with a .952 save percentage. Kupsky has one more year left in the NCAA and if he continues to show improvement he should get at least a look at the AHL level. Chris Legg

 

March 2017 – The Sharks selected overager Kupsky late in the 2015 draft out of the NAHL’s Lone Star Brahmas. The last two years, the big netminder has not found much success with Union College in the NCAA. He’s further along than other goalies in the Sharks pipeline but not much to write home about. Kupsky has great size and plays a fairly athletic game, but positioning can falter. Zachary DeVine
