2025 Top Goalie Report

Next 1 Hockey gathers stats from multiple sources to provide ratings for players U12 through JRs. At the midway point into the 2025-2026 season we thought it would be a good time to put eyes on some of the goalies with sparkling numbers in the first half. About Next 1 Scoring; Our scoring system is purely mathematical. We factor in; strength of schedule, points per game, percentage of team points and age. Everything is relative to the data set, meaning each class/age has different players with different scores. We find the averages within those groups and adjust each metric based on a players ranking within the larger group of players. A mininum of 10 games played were required. *Not all players are included, we only added players with reliable data*
