His seven shutouts not only led the OHL this season but established a new Spitfires single season record surpassing the mark of six he set in 2016-17.
The 18-year-old from Amherstburg, joined the Spits as the top goaltender chosen in the 2015 OHL Priority Selection at 23rd overall.
Last season he backstopped the Spitfires to a Mastercard Memorial Cup title winning on home ice where he was named top goaltender and to the tournament's all-star team.
Currently, DiPietro is in Denmark playing for Team Canada at the IIHF World Hockey Championship.
The OHL Goaltender of the Year is awarded to the league's most outstanding goaltender as selected by OHL General Managers.
