Fetterolf Selected by Stanley Cup Champion Hurricanes in NHL Draft
Gilmour Academy’s Ryder Fetterolf ’26 continues to add to an unforgettable year, as the standout goaltender was selected by the Carolina Hurricanes in the fourth round (125 th overall) of the 2026 NHL Draft. Fetterolf, who starred for the Ottawa 67s during his rookie Ontario Hockey League season, emerged as one of the top young goaltenders in the Canadian Hockey League. The Pittsburgh native posted an impressive 2.07 goals-against average and .923 save percentage in 41 games, earning CHL Goaltender of the Year honors and becoming just the second first-year goalie in league history to be named CHL Rookie of the Year. Despite going undrafted into the OHL, Fetterolf quickly established himself as one of the league’s elite netminders. While he is currently leaning toward continuing his development at Penn State University, he has not ruled out a return to Ottawa for another OHL season. Congratulations to Ryder on this incredible accomplishment as he takes the next step toward his professional hockey dream!
