G Carter George - Owen Sound Attack, OHL (2024, 57th, LA)

[Lt Dan]

Cool that he was a Kings fan growing up, played minor hockey with the Thunder Bay Kings, and now drafted by the Los Angeles Kings.

We need to put him on the boat next, so he can be the King of the world!

I can already see some sick mask designs with Kings, King George, Los Angeles, and even Thunder Bay incorporated.

Nice to see him get a goalie goal on Friday. Decent D+1 on a bad Owen Sound team

He's been an absolute rock and has only had a couple of bad games all season - impressive given the number of shots, and the quality of chances, the Attack give up on a nightly basis. More of the same as last year.

Despite the numbers I'd say a lot of OHL followers would consider him the best goalie in the league this season, and I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up finishing the World Juniors this year as Canada's starter, if he doesn't outright start the tournament in net.

The big worry for him is going to be workload, as he burnt out having to play every game and make 40+ saves a night last season and while Koprowski should start more than last year's backup, George is still going to be close to 50 starts.

Looked elite last night against Finland. Absolute gamer in net

Elite once again at the World Junior.

George has been elite since the start of February, putting up a .935 sv%. He's helped Owen Sound claw their way into the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Not a single game with a sub .900 sv% in this stretch despite playing great teams like Barrie, Kingston, and Windsor.

This weekend could be quite challenging with the Attack facing London on Friday and Kitchener on Saturday

Yeah he's still the best goalie in the OHL, numbers be damned. That Owen Sound team is baaaaad. Without him I don't know if they get to 15 wins on the season.

He's been incredible, the best goalie we've ever had especially at 18. Just his sizzle reel from Sunday's game in the Soo should be enough to convince people about how good he is.

His only real weakness at the moment for this level is that he both wants to play and ends up playing too much, so there are weekends where you can tell the fatigue is catching up with him.
