Best Goals-Against Average in an NLL Season (2002-2026)

To quality for this list, a goalie has to play half of the possible minutes to quality.  In this case, it's 18 X 30 minutes for 540. You may have heard that Brett Dobson set a league record at 7.86. You may not have heard that three other goalies joined the list this season. Sounds like goals per game as a league might have been down a little bit this season, for whatever reason. 

Here's what we have so far, dating back to 2002:

Name - Team - Year - GAA
Brett Dobson - Georgia - 2025-26 - 7.86
Aaron Bold - Edmonton - 2014 - 8.73
Doug Jamieson - New England - 2019-20 - 8.80
Nick Rose - Toronto - 2022-23 - 9.03
Nick Rose - Toronto - 2021-22 - 9.05

Nick Rose - Toronto - 2025-26 - 9.17
Nick Rose - Toronto - 2023-24 - 9.18
Evan Kirk - Saskatchewan - 2019-20 - 9.26
Christian Del Bianco - Calgary - 2022-23 - 9.28
Bob Watson - Toronto - 2010 - 9.31

Frank Scigliano - Saskatchewan - 2024-25 - 9.40
