Evan Renaerts

Evan grew up following, studying and playing goal in Hockey. Originally his road was to become a sports broadcaster but he married young and started his family, so things took a different turn. Still meddling and following hockey closely, Evan started tracking and following the top junior prospects around the world and observing their common growth curve that most players had before turning pro into the NHL or other Leagues like the KHL, SHL, Liga etc. Evan has always been fascinated with the position of Goaltending from as early as 11 years old. That interest took him into a deeper dive into the world of Hockey goaltending. He has played the position most of his life and studied it in depth both with the ‘eye test’ and with ‘analytics‘ learning how to analyze the position and play of goaltenders. Goaltending is ‘Voodoo‘ they say but Evan calls it predictable and easier to track then many think. Evan was always active on Hockey message boards which led to his first opportunity blogging on prospects in hockey with ‘Oilers Jambalaya’ where he wrote for a few years. Later he worked with PuckRant before eventually ending up with Fox Sports writing as a scout analyst for hockey.
