The WHL has also nominated James Reid of the Spokane Chiefs for the CHL Goaltender of the Week Award. Reid posted a 3-0-0-0 record this past week, stopping 76 of 79 shots faced for a 1.000 goals-against average and a 0.962 save percentage. Reid, a 19-year-old from Calgary, Alberta, has appeared in 13 games this season posting an 8-4-1-0 record with one shut-out. His 2.46 GAA currently has him sitting sixth among all WHL goaltenders.
With the sometimes consistent Chiefs, it’s nice knowing we have a goaltender who can remain zen throughout the madness. Reid held at times the seeming unfortunate position of being the backup to Dustin Tokarski, he didn’t see too many minutes last season. But if anything, I think he picked up some good habits from Toka and knows the expected goaltending calibre.
