Apr 15, 2024 | 12:20 PM

PRINCE GEORGE – The WHL has announced that Prince George Cougars netminder Joshua Ravensbergen has been named WHL Goaltender of the Week. This is the third time the 17-year-old has won the award after an incredible weekend to start Round 2 of the WHL Playoffs

Ravensbergen led all WHL goaltenders with a perfect 2-0-0-0 record and two shutouts, stopping all 37 shots he faced in Prince George’s second-round series against the Kelowna Rockets.

The Cougars would seize a 4-0 win in Game 1, with Ravenbergen’s 21-save clean sheet marking Prince George’s first playoff shutout since Scott Bowles made 39 saves in a 2-0 win over Vancouver on March 25, 2006. Ravensbergen was named the first star of the night.

The following night, “The Burger” stayed sharp. The North Vancouver, B.C. product turned aside all 16 shots he faced in a 5-0 win, posting the first-ever back-to-back playoff shutouts for Prince George.

Ravensbergen is 5-0-0-0 in the 2024 WHL Playoffs with a 1.40 goals-against average, a .943 save percentage, and two shutouts. He leads all starting netminders in all three major statistical categories.
