Fairbanks goalie Krivtsov makes NCAA DI Commitment

The Fairbanks Ice Dogs of the North American Hockey League (NAHL) are proud to announce that goalie Tyler Krivtsov has committed to playing NCAA Division I hockey for Stonehill College.

Krivtsov, 20, is playing his 2nd season in the NAHL, both with the Ice Dogs organization. The Santa Clarita, California native joined Fairbanks in the 2021-22 season where he shared the net with now Augustana University netminder Kayden Hargraves. Krivtsov tended the crease in 24 games that season, combining for a 3.07 goals against average and .891 save percentage. 

“I’m very proud and excited to announce my commitment to play Division 1 hockey at Stonehill College. Thank you to my family, friends, coaches and teammates for helping me get to where I am today.,” said Krivtsov.

Tyler returned to the Ice Dogs this season where he has served as the primary backstop, appearing in 39 games for Fairbanks. His 16-16-6 record goes alongside a 3.00 goals against average and .904 save percentage. On December 10th he picked up his first shutout of the season against the Minnesota Wilderness, completing the night with 33 saves.

Krivtsov was selected to and participated in the 2024 Top Prospects Tournament in February at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex. In a matchup against the NAHL Selects Silver team he played 27 minutes without allowing a goal. 

Tyler is the 4th Ice Dog on the roster who will be playing Division I hockey in the near future. He will be joining Odessa’s Riley Rosenthal and Johnstown’s Justin Gibson to play at Stonehill College.
