PRINCE GEORGE — The Western Hockey League (WHL) has taken notice of the stellar year Prince George Cougars goalie Joshua Ravensbergen has been having.

The Cougars backstop has been nominated for the league’s Goaltender of the Year award. Ravensbergen delivered a remarkable campaign in the Cougars crease, leading the WHL in wins with 32 while also posting a league-best .919 save percentage.

Ravensbergen led the WHL in wins despite missing close to a month of play while representing Team Canada at the World Juniors over the holiday season.

The Del Wilson Memorial Trophy is awarded annually to the WHL’s top goaltender as voted on by WHL General Managers.
