Little Caesars 18U
Courtney offers a junior team a youth-to-junior development option with a sustained stopping foundation. His case becomes especially relevant to a club seeking a prospect whose movement and puck handling could help shorten defensive possessions.
The existing assessment links getting into coverage with managing the puck after the shot. The useful junior application is preserving that connection when a release is faster and a rebound is attacked before a full reset is available.
His ranking reflects a convincing 18U season and a workable technical starting point. The remaining step is translation: youth performance earns serious consideration, but does not settle how much junior responsibility he can carry.
An evaluation should include consecutive chances rather than only clean shots. Showing that his first save leaves a manageable puck, and that he can regain the next lane without extra movement, would strengthen the case for starts.
His 2025–26 record with Little Caesars 18U lists 28 appearances, with a 1.83 goals-against average and a .943 save percentage.
