The Hockey East Goaltending Champion is an annual award given out at the conclusion of the Hockey East regular season, typically to the goaltender who held the lowest Goals Against Average (GAA) in conference games during the regular season. The Goaltending Champion was first awarded in 1985 and every year thereafter. The current record for lowest GAA against conference opponents in a season is held by Jimmy Howard of Maine with a 1.15 Goals Against Average, set during the 2003–04 season.
