Matt Aloisi Rookie Profile

Age: 19

Position: Goalie

Hometown: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 185 lbs

 

Matt Aloisi is an 19 year old goalie born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Aloisi began playing hockey at the age of 5 as a centre. His road to becoming a goalie was quite farfetched and occurred during a club game at the age of 14. Aloisi allowed himself to step into the goal when his teams starting goalie was unable to make it to the game in time due to compilations. He made 23 saves on 25 shots in a 3-2 win that saw Aloisi's hockey career change forever. After winning multiple provincials tournaments, Goalie of the Tournament awards and other inter-club awards, Aloisi is ready to take it to the next level in his road to becoming one of the worlds best. 

 

Pros:

1) Reflexes

- A large part of Aloisi's previous success in between the sticks comes from his raw reflex ability. Aloisi possesses the ability to stretch out in key moments when the puck is being jammed towards the net. His raw ability outmatches even some of the best in the business.

2) Rebound Control

- Another large part of Aloisi's game is his awareness to keep control on the puck, when making saves. Being able to cut down potential rebound opportunities, Aloisi limits the amount of high potential scoring chance each and every game. As seen in many games, when rebound chances are limited the opposing forwards can becoming very frustrated.

3) Leadership

- Aloisi is also a locker room role model. Where he does not have much ground to control his teammates during the game, he makes up for this by being someone players can talk to in support, encourage, and allow to play better without any added pressure. Much like the role of a coach, Aloisi has a very high team spirit and brings together great cohesion when it comes to the overall chemistry of the squad. 

 

Cons: 

1) Experience/Age

- Aloisi's first con is his lack of experience and age. As he is only a goalie of 5 years now, he may not have the experience that someone playing in the high levels may have, this could be a potential flaw with any high level team, wanting to give Aloisi ice time right away. However, his ability and motivation allow him to flourish in his younger years.

2) Penalty Shot Stopping

- Aloisi had never really been a major threat when it comes to saving penalty shots. While his reflexes and hand speed ability is very high, his quick eagerness and inexperience can leave him exposed if shooters try to outskill him using fancy moves. 

3) Size

- Aloisi's size can also be a negative factor for him in goal. At just over 6' and 185 lbs, he is not the largest guy in the locker room. He makes up for this with his cat-like reflexes and hand speed, which can make him look like a much larger target in the net.

 

While Aloisi may be young and inexperienced, he has the potential and motivation to make it to the big leagues if he put his mind to it. He has the shot stopping ability, and would need to work on his awareness and being able to use his size more efficiently.
