Carey Price : The Goaltender of future.

Carey Price is a name not many have heard of yet. But if he continues to play as has started his career everyone
will know his name. Carey is just 20 years old. Born August 18 , 1987 in Vancouver Canada. He is 6 foot 2 inches tall
and weighs 215.

He is proud of his heritage & where he came from. His mother , Lynda Price is the chief of the Ulkatcho First Nation in B.C. His father, Jerry Price was drafted by the Flyers in 1978 but never played in the NHL. One of his cousins is Shane Doan of the
Phoenix Coyotes.

He is being compared to Patrick Roy. He is mature for his age and is mentally tough as Patrick was. His puckhandling skills
are being compared to Martin Brodeur & Marty Turco. His overall skills to that of Ken Dryden. Now that is some pretty lofty company to be compared to.

He played for the Hamilton Bulldogs of the American Hockey League. In his first professional game , April 13 , 2007 , he not
only won the game he only allowed one goal. He stopped 27 of 28 SOG . He was awarded first star of the game.
His teamates call him the real deal & a phenom.

He was the MVP of the Calder Cup playoffs. In his first play off finals game he not only won the game but recorded
a amazing shut out. He stopped all 46 SOG !

He lead team Canada to a Gold Medal in the Juniors World Cup. And was named MVP for the Tournament.

He is the only Goaltender in history to win CHL Goaltender of the Year , The Jack A. Butterfield Trophy : The Calder Cup
MVP , Juniors World Cup MVP in one year.

If he doesn't win the starting role in net he will most likely return to the AHL Hamilton Bulldogs to season his skills & wait
to see if the Habs will start him in the 2008-09 season.
