Rockets netminder Boettiger named Mary Brown’s Chicken WHL Goaltender of the Week

Calgary, Alta. – The Western Hockey League announced today Kelowna Rockets netminder Harrison Boettiger has been named Mary Brown’s Chicken WHL Goaltender of the Week for the week ending Sunday, November 23, 2025.

Boettiger, a 17-year-old product of Wheat Ridge, Colo., went 2-0-0 with a 1.53 goals-against average and .955 save percentage this past week.

Eligible for the 2026 NHL Draft, Boettiger was assigned a ‘B’ rating in NHL Central Scouting’s Preliminary Players to Watch List on October 20. This week, he is in Alberta representing Team CHL at the 2025 CHL USA Prospects Challenge, with games set for Tuesday, November 25, at Calgary, and Wednesday, November 26, at Lethbridge.

The 6-foot-3, 193-pound puckstopper started his week with a 27-save, first-star performance as the Rockets knocked off the Edmonton Oil Kings by a 5-2 score on Wednesday, November 19 at Prospera Place.

On Friday, November 21, in a 6-3 loss versus Everett, Boettiger came on in relief during the second period, going more than 36 minutes while facing 29 shots and turning aside 28 of them.

The first-year WHL goaltender finished his week with a 30-save effort Saturday, November 22, as the Rockets clipped the Portland Winterhawks by a score of 2-1. Boettiger saved his best for last, stopping 13 of 14 shots in the third period to backstop the Rockets. He was named first star of the game for his performance.

Through 10 games this season, Boettiger is 5-2-1-1 with a 2.37 GAA and .921 SV%. He ranks among the WHL leaders in GAA (second) and save percentage (third).

Originally selected by the Lethbridge Hurricanes in the first round (fourth overall) of the 2022 WHL U.S. Priority Draft, Boettiger was acquired by the Rockets in a blockbuster trade that sent Seattle Kraken prospect Caden Price to the Hurricanes ahead of the 2025 WHL Trade Deadline.

Coming out of the weekend, the Rockets (10-7-3-1) sit seventh in the WHL’s Western Conference, having gone 6-2-2-0 over their previous 10 games.

Next up, Boettiger will represent Team CHL at the 2025 CHL USA Prospects Challenge in Calgary and Lethbridge, this Tuesday and Wednesday. Tickets are available for both games at CHL.ca. For those unable to attend in person, both games will be broadcast nationally in Canada by TSN, while viewers in the United States can stream for free on Victory+ or watch on NHL Network. Check local listings for up-to-date scheduling.
