18-year-old goaltender Carter George of Team Canada is poised to be the starter in the 2025 World Junior Hockey Championship, bringing his unique musical routine for focus and confidence. George has impressed with his performance in exhibition games and is known for his calm demeanor under pressure.

THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean KilpatrickThe tune could be country, rap, rock or something entirely different — the goaltender doesn't discriminate.
It looks like George, who plays for the Ontario Hockey League's Owen Sound Attack, will get the first shot at the crease after putting up a combined .941 saves percentage in 100 minutes of exhibition action. "I don't know when it started," the Los Angeles Kings prospect said with a laugh following the Canada's Christmas Day skate. "I've pretty much done it my whole life. There's a video somewhere of me dancing to the music at one of my games when I was little."
De Palma said the impression that goaltenders in hockey are "weird" — why would anyone want to stand in front of blistering slapshots? — is largely incorrect. George has been consistent on the ice. Where inconsistency comes into play is the song he's jamming to as opponents bear down."It switches lots throughout the season," George said. "I started with rock and switched to country. Then I went to rap for a bit. Then back to country. It's just all over the place.
