Scouting Report: Cam Ward and Todd Ford
Ward: Carolina Hurricanes - Red Deer (WHL)
Advertisement
Butterfly style goaltender with good lateral movement from side to side ...
can be over cautious with the puck... holds onto the puck when shot is made
... makes most saves with his chest ... goes down to soon even before shot is
made ... tends to stay too far back in the crease ... very seldom challenges
the shooter ... has good positioning ... takes no chances with the puck ...
stick stops are redirected to the side and leaves few rebounds ... very flexible
with excellent reflexes.
Ford: Toronto Maple Leafs - Swift Current (WHL)
Another butterfly style goalenter, but at 6'4", covers alot of net ...
stance leaves a wide gap between his pads ... plays like a third defenceman,
handles the puck frequently and effectively ... directs his team from the net
... leaves crease alot to play the puck and is prone to getting caught out of
position ... when penalty is called seems to not notice right away ... good
glove hand ... does challenge the shooter from outside the crease ... leaves
huge rebounds ... goes down alot.
