Canadian Goaltender Jacob Fowler Impresses in NCAA Rookie Season

Canadian prospect Jacob Fowler is making waves in his rookie season in the NCAA. The goaltender, who also represented Canada at the World Junior Championship, has posted impressive numbers for his Boston College team. With a record of 18-4-1, a goals against average of 2.25, and a save percentage of .924, Fowler has shown a smooth transition to the NCAA.

This past weekend, Fowler faced a tough challenge against Boston University. Despite being outplayed by BU, Fowler managed to minimize the damage inflicted by talented players like Lane Hutson and Macklin Celebrini.

Experts and former players are also taking notice of Fowler’s skills. Simon Boisvert praised his confidence, while Ryan Whitney, on the Spittin’ Chiclets podcast, was thoroughly impressed by Fowler’s performance. Whitney even predicted that Fowler would become an NHL All-Star Game goalie, comparing him to the likes of Hasek, Price, Roy, and Brodeur.

For Montreal Canadiens fans, this is promising news. With Samuel Montembeault in their roster for the next three years, having Fowler, a third-round draft pick, waiting in the wings gives the Canadiens an added advantage in the goaltending department.

Although Fowler is just at the beginning of his journey, he is off to a remarkable start. His exceptional abilities and potential are sure to bring excitement to Habs fans and the future of Montreal’s goaltending position.
