Brahmas announce Jaeger’s return
Champion goalie in place for the 2009-10 campaign
Those who were concerned that Brett Jaeger would move on can breathe a sigh of relief as the Texas Brahmas have announced his return to the net for the 2009-10 season.
Jaeger, 26, led the Central Hockey League in goaltending during the 2009 playoffs with a 2.20 GAA and a .930 save percentage. He was the only goaltender to start all 16 games and more importantly, the only one with 12 victories for a championship win.
During the regular season, his career best, Jaeger broke three of the Brahmas’ single season franchise records: Goals Against (98), Save Percentage (.924) and Goals Against Average (2.36). He also managed a 2.36 GAA and a .924 save percentage and a 28-9-5 record in 44 games played.
He had two shutouts at the NYTEX Sports Centre against the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees (12/09/08) and the Arizona Sundogs (01/16/09) and his three assists accounted for his most offensive productivity in any season as a professional.
With just five more victories, Jaeger will become the Brahmas all-time winningest goaltender. Rob Laurie currently holds that honor with 45 wins.
A consummate professional, Jaeger spends a tremendous amount of time working to stay in shape and to improve his game, a personal ethic that has translated to victories on the ice for the Texas Brahmas.

"Brett has proven to be the top goaltender in the league, so we made it a priority to bring him back for another run. His work ethic and strong play between the pipes is what makes the Brahmas so successful," said coach Dan Wildfong.
On the personal side, Jaeger and his fiancee, Corinne Lieffering will be married this Friday, July 10th in British Columbia.
