Kirt was a goalie that I omitted from my Class of 2024 Top Specialists article because I mistakenly had him listed as a ’25.  He definitely should have been on that list and is one of the premier goalies in the state.  He has a big frame with quick hands and will eat up anything that isn’t a high percentage look.  Anchoring a strong Wayzata defense, he communicates well, commands the defense, and is extremely active in the clear.  Deceptively fast, he even got a shot on goal early in the contest on a clear.  If a team locks off in the ride, he will take it coast-to-coast. He had eight saves on 13 shots in the opener and made it hard for the opponent to get any real momentum going on offense.
