Mads Søgaard is a Danish goaltender who recently joined the WHL. He was a first-round pick in the CHL Import Draft and made the most of his first year in the CHL circuit. Suffice to say that his first year was quite the coming out party for the young netminder. He was able to establish himself as a solid option between the pipes for the Medicine Hat Tigers.
There is one main reason why Søgaard is turning heads: he is a huge man. He stands 6’7” as an 18-year-old. As has been mentioned in our other draft reviews, with this new era of goaltenders, when you add great athleticism and a strong technical foundation to a big frame, you get quite the goaltending prospect.
