THIS WEEK: Tracking a puck behind the net, Bill Ranford-style

Today’s breakdown features Owen Sound Attack goalie Carter George, who is also a Los Angeles Kings draft pick, playing a down-low chance against the Memorial Cup champion London Knights.

About Rick’s Read & React

Each month, Wamsley will dissect a different game situation – from rush chances to net-front battles – showing how elite goalies process the game in real time. Think of it as a “film room” for your goalie IQ. As Wamsley explained on a recent episode of the InGoal Radio Podcast, his approach was influenced by a visit to Europe as part of group of Hockey Canada goalie coaches and learning how Finland broke down the 10 most common ways to score. His analysis is anchored in that philosophy, and how goalies can counter each.
