The WHL officially announced the finalists for the Del Wilson Memorial Trophy on Wednesday. The award is presented annually to the league’s Goaltender of the Year, honouring the best regular-season performance between the pipes. EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALISTS Michal Orsulak — Prince Albert Raiders The top-ranked North American goaltender by NHL Central Scouting was a workhorse for the Raiders. In 36 games, Orsulak posted a staggering 28-4-4 record with a 2.22 GAA and .907 save percentage, leading all Eastern Conference goalies in shutouts with four. Filip Ruzicka — Brandon Wheat Kings At 6-foot-7, Ruzicka utilized his massive frame to anchor the Wheat Kings' defence. He recorded 26 wins and a .906 save percentage in 42 appearances. His season was highlighted by a 70-save performance in a late-March playoff preview against Calgary. Chase Wutzke — Moose Jaw Warriors A Minnesota Wild prospect, Wutzke provided veteran stability for a Moose Jaw team in transition. He finished the campaign with a .906 save percentage. WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALISTS Joshua Ravensbergen — Prince George Cougars The San Jose Sharks' first-rounder led the league with a .919 save percentage and ranked second in wins with 32. He was named to the WHL Western Conference First All-Star Team for the second consecutive year. Andrew Reyelts — Penticton Vees In the Vees' inaugural expansion season, Reyelts was the league's biggest surprise. He finished third in the WHL with a 2.45 GAA and a 29-6-8 record. Tobias Tvrznik — Wenatchee Wild Tvrznik was the primary reason for Wenatchee’s defensive resilience, recording 16 wins and maintaining a sub-3.15 GAA while facing the third-highest shots-against total in the Western Conference.
