REPORT: KÄRPÄT @ JOKERIT U18, APRIL 6, 2019
Blomqvist was the cornerstone in net as Kärpät U18 defeated Jokerit 3-2 in overtime to even the finals. He has been excellent during the final months of the season and it showed in today’s game – he was calm and constantly in control. He showed great quickness and flexibility, and he rarely made any unnecessary movements. He used a solid blocker hand to direct shots out of danger. Moreover, Blomqvist tracked the puck well through screens and he controlled rebounds very effectively to avoid secondary chances. All things considered, it was a very impressive and consistent performance from the 2002 born goalie, who definitely has a chance to be an early pick in next year’s NHL Draft.
