Spencer Knight followed Jacob Fowler’s career closely, who has passed as him through the Boston College Eagles program, and he sees him arriving very quickly in the National Hockey League.
The 20 -year -old goalkeeper is already burning the stages by playing playoff meetings with the Laval Rocket, which was the best team in the American league in the regular season.

Few people doubted the Floridian’s ability to have an immediate impact upon arrival with professionals. To make your choice in April, either spend another season in the NCAA or jump with the Montreal Canadiens’ school club, Fowler turned to trusted people.
Knight indicated last week to the RG.org site that he had exchanged text messages with the hope of CH throughout the season. When he contacted him in the spring, he did not hesitate to guide him.
“He only asked me a few questions about professional hockey and asked for advice on the process. He is an intelligent young man, he is an excellent goalkeeper and he is on the right track. But I told him it took time, and as we had discussed before, you have to learn how to be a professional before you get there, “said the Chicago Blackhawks goalkeeper.
“He is on the right track in Laval and I am sure he will be in Montreal soon, when the moment is the right one,” added Knight, who went directly from university to the Florida panthers in 2021.
The 24 -year -old NHL’s NHL was not linear. After being Sergei Bobrovsky’s assistant for two seasons, he went to perfect his art in the American League throughout the 2023-2024 campaign.
In March, he was exchanged to the Blackhawks and he should be their trusted man for the next season. Things can quickly change in this environment and Knight probably wants Fowler to learn from his “mistakes”.
