Wheeler was one of two goalies in the league to have more than 600 saves in the year, stopping 669 attempts, and maintained a .918 save percentage while playing 86 per cent of her team’s ice time. Since starting with the Mules last year she has made 1,265 saves, 45 starts, five shutouts, a 2.49 goals- against-average and a .923 save percentage. Wheeler was the only athlete from Colby College in Waterville, Maine to make the team.
