Ice Hockey Goalie Recruiting

College coaches evaluate every position differently. Here's what actually matters if you're a goalie player building a recruiting profile, from the stats that carry weight to the film that gets watched.

What Coaches Look For at Goalie

Goalies are evaluated on save percentage and goals against average over a full season. Coaches also watch rebound control closely, since giving up dangerous second-chance opportunities is one of the fastest ways a goalie gets passed over, even with a strong raw save percentage.

Stats That Matter Most

For goalie recruits, coaches weigh save percentage, goals against average, and rebound control above raw totals alone. As always, the number that actually moves a coach's evaluation is the one they can trust, meaning stats verified by your travel or club coach carry far more weight than self-reported numbers on a resume.
