Upside Hockey's 2025 NHL Draft Top 10 Goalies

Upside Hockey's 2025 NHL Draft Top 10 Goalies and our final overall ranking in brackets:

With some excerpts from our profiler, their profiles in our NHL Draft Guide and on our prospect profiles page:

# Rk Goalie

1 (38) Ravensbergen, Joshua

“Right-handed netminder Josh Ravensbergen (ranked # 1 NA Goalies, # 28 by McKenzie, # 29 by Button) is the prototype for just about everything a scout could look for in their version of a perfect goalie- he's tall, positionally sound, and not at all afraid to rely on his size and technique to make stops. Ravensbergen has so much more going for him though, as he's kind of goaltender that comes through in the clutch for his team, with big saves at important times, and is a calming presence with his composed demeanor.”

2 (50) Frolov, Semyon

“Frolov is a calming presence, always maintaining poise and composure under pressure. His patient demeanor masks his competitive nature; he's a battler who puts forth multiple efforts to keep pucks out of his net when his technical skills and positioning fails him. He performs admirably under duress, makes clutch stops, and shows well in big games- as well as in important situations. He remains unrattled through contact, stays square to forwards who are barreling towards him, and keeps his focus when attackers crash the crease. His puck-handling can be a bit of an adventure, and he needs to work on his decision-making, as well as keeping things safe and simple, but at his best- he shows flashes of dynamic puck-movement that could make him a real asset to his team's transition. Frolov's hands are as quick as his feet, and he can flash the glove to snag shots from distance, and he is able to deflect pucks out of danger using his blocker. He uses his reach and an active stick for poke-checks around the net, displaying excellent timing, and high-end reflexes.”

3 (56) Andreyanov, Pyotr

“Andreyanov is nimble on his skates, moves around the crease fluidly, explodes off of his posts laterally, and steps up to challenge shooters; he's active and aggressive, employing well-timed use of his stick to poke pucks away from danger. He exhibits excellent footwork and smooth edges in staying square to the puck, as well as when retreating back into his net with the attack bearing down on him, and recovers quickly to his stance after going down in the butterfly to seal off the bottom of the net. His reflexes are fantastic, with a quick glove hand and smart use of his blocker to deflect shots away from the net, and his athleticism is elite- he moves quickly and efficiently, never sliding out of position, while maintaining control of his angling, and covering up his five-hole while in-motion.”

4 (65) Pradel, Michal

“Pradel's size and range are some of his best assets, with his 6'5" frame covering most of the net, while owning extra-long legs and an expansive wingspan to seal off the net when down in the butterfly. His limbs are lightning-quick, and he's highly mobile in his crease- whether sliding around on his pads, or darting around in the blue paint to stay square to the puck. He moves surprisingly well east-west, as well as forwards-backwards to challenge shooters at the top of his crease, and he also moves up-and-down in the butterfly with explosive speed- recovering almost instantly to his default stance.”

5 (68) Ivankovic, Jack

“Ivankovic doesn't have the benefit of ideal size to fall back on, so he relies mostly on structure, technique, and superhuman reflexes- wielding a sharp glove, and a quick blocker. He maintains control of his movements to cut-down on over-committing, and eliminates the possibility of losing his net, by never straying beyond his posts. He employs an upright stance to appear larger, and to better take care of the top of the net, paying close attention to his angling. Active and athletic, he moves around his crease quickly, and can explode laterally by pushing off of his post.

He's light on his feet, and can dart around in all directions, but also recovers extremely fast to a standing position after going down in the butterfly. Ivankovic tracks the play extremely well, keeping his eye on the puck to stay square to the shooter, and his high-end anticipation allows him to always be well-positioned; he outwaits shooters, and doesn't drop down prematurely. He's mentally tough and resilient, staying calm and composed in high-pressure situations, and resets admirably after letting in a goal- even if it's a softie. His mental fortitude and high compete level make him an excellent performer in big games, and pushes him to make key saves at important times.”

6 (80) Medvedev, Aleksi

7 (89) Hood, Burke

8 (100) Rimpinen, Petteri (OA1)

9 (113) Beckman, Lucas
