Michigan's Mann Turns Pro

The University of Michigan is on the lookout for a new starting goaltender, as Strauss Mann has decided to pass up his senior season to turn professional.

Mann, 22, an undrafted netminder from Greenwich, Conn., played in 77 games over the last three years at Michigan, in which he finished with a 35-30-9 record to go with a 2.14 goals-against average and 11 shutouts.

As a sophomore in 2019-20, the six-foot-tall Mann went 18-13-4 with a 1.85 GAA and six shutouts to earn Big Ten Best Goaltender and Big Ten First All-Star Team accolades, before the 2019-20 campaign was canceled by COVID-19. As a team captain this season, he helped the Wolverines to the NCAA tournament by winning 11 games, before Michigan was forced to withdraw from the tournament due to the coronavirus.

Prior to arriving at Ann Arbor in the fall of 2018, Mann played one year for Fargo (USHL), where he went 22-8-3 with five shutouts and also backstopped the Force to the Clark Cup championship.
