Fowler delivered a direct blocker strike to an opponent's face, which led to his ejection from the game. He lost his composure.
Watch the incident in question here:
We didn't see this coming, but at least Fowler, who plays nearly every game for Boston College, will get a brief night off.
Nineteen-year-old Jacob Fowler boasts a 7-1-0 record this season with Boston College, a goals-against average of 1.26, and an incredible .950 save percentage.
Personally, I appreciate seeing the young player compete with emotion, but it's clear that such outbursts need to be kept in check. His performance is crucial to his team's success.
