Cloverdale will kill OHA on the PP with Seto, Soy, Stukel, Fraser, and Wotherspoon as their 1st PP Line. The Colt's PP has been amazing this year, completing almost 85% of their chances. OHA better watch out.
What makes Cloverdale so good? Is it development or how the accumulate players?
Colts will win in a blow out. Won't be close . Probably 4 to 5 goals between the teams. 8 to 2 prediction.
OHA plays a team game and have an outstanding coach. Everyone plays in their system. Puck possession is their game. They are the dark horse and Underdogs again in this one just the way they like it.
Any Goalie stats? In the games I caught, Veitch looked ordinary, Nanaimo big goalie was solid, LOucks good but not much help from Wenatchee D, OHA backup ? Schonvek lights out withSO vs Edm
Goalies. Schovanek has looked solid, watched veitch play vs edm and la he was outstanding!! Player of game in both by a mile didn't see the others but they were all wins. Saw big goalie from nan look real good one game then saw 10-9 game vs langley.
Some of the goalies names being floated about on this site must have some fans as there names keep popping up which does not really say much about how one evaluates goalies. At this level most have have done well to get to this point and all deserve to be where they are to this point - lots of time and development to come.
Some teams are 'all goalie' that's why they keep coming up this websites list thing has them in it too!!!!!
In the final Cloverdale vs OHA, I think OHA made a mistake when they switched their starting goalie in the game not sure if the coach was trying to motivate the team with this move or not. Wouldn't say the starter looked bad on the goals when Cloverdale forwards are on fire, moving the puck and getting shots on target you get some beautiful goals to watch.
Excellent tournament in memory of a tragic accident and a great kid. Congrats to Cloverdale class of tourney...OHA proved they are a good team VRC had real good weekend playing much better hockey. Mission showed again they are scrappy dangerous team going 4-2. MLAC were up and down. LA was real fun to watch!! Wenatchee looked out of sorts better get it together before St Albert..Kelowna seem to be going in wrong direction as well. Lots of great hockey left this year!
I'd say OHA had more chances and held the puck for a longer amount of time than Cloverdale.
"Kelowna going in the wrong direction" How does this happen to teams after early season success?? Is it the free ride to the Provincials or just consistantly losing to high caliber clubs (POE,CLOVERDALE,OHA,BWC) and losing confidence?
Three dissapointing tournaments in a row Chilliwack, Kamloops and Abbotsford. Coming home to POE and OHA in division play, its going to be a long season ahead.
Not much interest in the goalies which is too bad.
How do you compare the Academy and winter club goalies to the .500 teams netminders who see 50% more rubber? Facing the Seto's, Soy's and Morrison's at this age is just going to improve their development faster.
i knew oha would switch goalies when clover scored with 1 sec left in 2nd thats a backbraker

Good comments - its about development and seeing more rubber - at this age - lots of hockey left for these 14 year olds - as you say this can only help development of these goalies in the long run.

I still say the switch may have been a mistake - not many of the goals were his fault with Cloverdale shooters on fire some good goals. Pitty as I thought the starting goalie was playing well.
Of course the goalies on the Allstar teams get to face elite shooters / playmakers multiple times in Practice... So, hard to know which makes for better development?? All these guys are tremendous athletes and Some kids just ooze that 'calm intensity' and battle level that can sometimes turn into something special long term. I pity the goalie scouts :)

Not sure if they really have "true" goalie scouts at these games! If they did things may be different - just saying you have to watch goalies like a hawk and when watching 10 players on the ice cannot always see everything a goalie does - as hockey canada says making a save look spectacular usually does not say much about a goalies ability/potential- but usually means that maybe they were off angel or not choosing the correct save choice - just saying.
Stats for goalies would not do any good at this level. It is much more of a team effort.
They are all good goalies, they beat out the competition to get to tier 1 and that deserves a look.
The best goalies are mobile, athletic, good puck handlers, reads plays well and controls the game. I have seen a few that posses all these skills in the last three BC tournaments.
I agree,goaltending at this level is about improvement. The scouts are looking for athleticism, a skill set and then size. It is almost impossible to compare recruiting teams goalies to city team goaltenders. With 3 talented lines BWC goalies only see 15 to 20 out side shots a game, but in Med Hat against teams of equal skill BWC allowed 12 goals in 2 games. Does this mean their goaltending is not good quality? (i do think Nick will be first or second goalie drafted)
Now take the bottom, flight 1 teams from Pacific coast. For their teams to have a chance to win
against any opponent, their goalie(s) must make 30 plus saves a game and face shots from inside the house. They face more breakaways and odd man rushes and are exposed to much more scenarios at game speed on a regular bases!!
Who is developing more????
