Growing up in Manitoba, Driedger played AAA Bantam and Midget ice hockey for the Winnipeg Monarchs organization.

His performance continued to decline and his 2.03 goals-against average and a 4-2-0-1 record dropped to a 3-3-1-0 record and 3.79 GAA in November.

As he continued to drop in December, he was encouraged to seek the help of a sports psychologist.

The Hitmen eventually established a tandem goaltending system with Driedger and Brandon Glover who split the starting position throughout the season.

Once the season began, Driedger earned a 10-3-1-1 record, a 2.37 G AA, and .920 save percentage by mid-November.
