Caelan Rawson-Turner has always felt at home between the pipes.
While most kids envision themselves as Cale Makar or Connor McDavid when they first etch their skates into the frozen sheet, Rawson-Turner embraced the role of being the last line of defense for his friends: a steadying presence in crunch time — and a conduit of positivity amid the barrage of pucks sailing his way in net.
The Plaistow, New Hampshire native first took to the ice at five years old — joining the learn-to-skate program with the Greater Haverhill Pentucket Youth Hockey Program and eventually settling out a role as a goalie for the HP Thunder U12 program.
