Selected by the San Jose Sharks in the first round (30th overall) of the 2025 NHL Draft, Ravensbergen blanked the Wenatchee Wild on Friday, November 28, backstopping the Cougars to a 3-0 victory at Town Toyota Center. The 6-foot-6, 195-pound puckstopper held off a third period onslaught from the Wild, as they sent 16 pucks in on goal, trying to erase a 2-0 deficit. Ravensbergen was named first star of the game for his performance.

He sits among the WHL leaders in major goaltending categories including wins (T-1st), shutouts (T-1st), GAA (third), and SV% (T-3rd).

Ravensbergen is riding a five-game winning streak, dating back to November 11, and has won seven of his last eight games. He has conceded two goals or fewer over each of his previous six games (5-1-0-0).

Undrafted into the WHL, Ravensbergen has been named to the WHL’s Second All-Star Team on two occasions (B.C. Division, 2023-24; Western Conference, 2024-25). In 108 career regular season appearances, he is 72-23-4-2 with a 2.73 GAA, .907 SV%, and eight shutouts.
