According to USHR, top American ’95 goaltender Ian Jenkins of Ypsilanti, Michigan suffered a head injury in a pickup truck accident Thursday afternoon. He has undergone surgery at University Hospital at the University of Michigan, and is in critical condition.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Jenkins and his family as the entire hockey community and goaltending brethren hope for the best.
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.
