How do you follow up a 2016-17 campaign where you put up a .918 SV% and win CHL Goaltender of the Year honors? Well, you put up a ridiculous .927 SV% and win WHL Goaltender of the Year for the second season in a row. It was the only logical conclusion for Carter Hart, if you think about it.
The newly-turned-19-year-old has taken Canadian juniors by storm after being drafted a season ago. As he approaches the end of his domination of teenagers, Hart will need to simply not regress after last year’s showing and prove once again he can handle a full-season workload as a starter.
