Surrey, B.C. – The Surrey Eagles have solidified their goaltending for the upcoming B.C Hockey League season, announcing Max Prazma has committed to the team for the 2020-21 season. The 18 year old goaltender will team up with Tommy Scarfone in the crease to form one of the best tandems in the league.
Max has all the physical tools to be a standout goaltender in this league as he develops moving forward. The Calgary, Alberta native stands 6’5, and weighs 190 pounds, covering a ton of the net. Prazma was one of the top goaltenders in the CSSHL last season, and had a 4.23 goals against average and a .904 save percentage with the Pacific Coast Academy. (Gabe Schovanek and Sean Ramsay’s CSSHL stomping grounds last season.)
Max’s future is bright, and he’s ready to make the jump into a great scouting league to try and move his career forward. “I’m so excited, I can’t wait to play this year… I know the BCHL has great exposure, and it’s super exciting to hone my craft and earn a [NCAA] commitment moving forward.”
For Eagles fans who haven’t seen Prazma in action, he talks about himself as, “A big, calm goalie who can read the play well, and I believe in my ability to move as well; I’m never going to give up on a puck.” Finally, Max also understands he’ll get to learn under one of the best goaltenders in the BCHL in Scarfone. “I got out and watched a couple games, and he was unreal for the team and I’m sure he’s going to help me out a ton next year. I’ve also heard the goalie coach is terrific.”
For Eagles Head Coach Cam Keith, he’s excited to add who he believes was one of the top goaltenders in the CSSHL last season. “Prazma is known for his excellent reflexes and ability to read the play. He was considered one of the top goalies in the CSSHL. He has a great opportunity to learn from one of the best goalies in the BCHL in Tommy Scarfone to grow his game moving forward.”
