The Sockers’ starting goalkeeper, Chris Toth established himself as one of the top keepers in the country during a breakout 2013-14 campaign and returns hoping to erase any doubt about who is the best in the game.

Toth faced the fourth-most shots (279) in the league, finished fifth in Goals Against Average (4.89), and was one of only four keepers to record more than 200 saves (205). He earned Honorable Mention all-PASL honors for his performance.
