Guelph Storm goaltender Zachary Jovanovski drew league-wide attention through his performance in the month of February. The young netminder was recently named the OHL’s Goaltender of the Month for February, a recognition that reflects both his consistency and his growing importance to the team’s future.

Jovanovski has quietly built a strong reputation throughout the season as one of the top draft-eligible goalies in the league. That perception was reinforced in the midterm rankings released by NHL Central Scouting, where he landed at the No. 10 spot amongst North American goaltenders. 

For scouts and analysts, the ranking confirms what many around the OHL have come to notice — his composure, athleticism, and ability to make timely saves under pressure, while playing in front of an average OHL squad. 

His February award also appears to be the continuation of a trend that began earlier in the winter. Jovanovski showed strong form in January, delivering several standout performances, particularly at the beginning of the month, that helped keep the Storm competitive in tight games. That stretch perhaps helped build his confidence, and he carried that momentum into February, where his steady play in goal helped anchor the team defensively.

In February, Jovanovski posted a 6-1-0-1 record, matching a career-best for most wins in a single month (recorded six wins in November, 2025). He recorded an .898 save percentage in the month, which is deflated poorly due to the five goals on 12 shots he suffered back on Feb. 22 against the Saginaw Spirit. 

Prior to that game against Saginaw, he had an outstanding three-game stretch. He had recorded three consecutive wins against Erie, Sarnia, and Sault Ste. Marie, the ladder being a 38-save shutout. 

For Guelph, his development could not come at a more important time. The organization has its eyes on the future, particularly with the Memorial Cup set to be hosted in the city in 2027. As the team works to build a contender over the summer, finding stability in net will be a key piece of the puzzle.

If Jovanovski continues progressing the way he has over the past two months, the Storm may have already found the starting goaltender they hope can lead them into that spotlight.
