Three of our scouted goalies (2010-2011) were taken in the USHL draft beginning with Colby Drost of the EJHL Huskies who was the first goalie taken overall. He was the 49th pick in the draft going to Des Moines in the 4th round. De Moines also took a shot at one of our favorites, Brian Robbins of the CD Selects who went 214 overall in the 15th round.
Sandwiched between those two picks was Westminster's Patrick Spano who went to Youngstown with pick number 198 in the 14th round. Click here to see the entire USHL draft.
WHO ARE THE EXPERTS?
Why do we do this? Aren't there enough goalie experts out there? Well....no. The Central Scouting Bureau for the NHL has a Goalie Checklist. Right there on the front page it asks if the goalie "consistently squares to the puck carrier." Really? How about squaring to the puck? This is just one example of what is wrong with the way we train, develop, and evaluate goalies. If its wrong here, then where else? Check out our Final Five rankings using the tabs below.
