Attack goaltender George reflects on goalie goal ahead of 2025 World Juniors
The only goaltender to score a goal in 2024-25?
Owen Sound’s Carter George (LA).
Ahead of Canada’s 2025 World Juniors opener – where George is expected to start – he reflects on that moment on Nov. 14.
“It was something I dreamed of as a kid,” George said. “I’ve tried it a lot of times. It was pretty cool to finally be able to score one. It happened to be a perfect play and everything worked out perfectly for it to happen so I definitely couldn’t have asked for a better first goal.”
Canada will open its tournament tonight against Finland while they will also face-off against Latvia (Dec. 27), Germany (Dec. 29) and USA (Dec. 31) in the round-robin. All four games will be played at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa.
The final is set for Jan. 5. The full schedule can be found here.
