History

2009-10: Anthony Stolarz skated for the New Jersey Devils Youth Midget National U16 team and was one of  ten Atlantic District goalies chosen for the Liberty Bell Games. He also played in USA Hockey's Select 16 Festival. In 19 games with the Devils he had a 2.36 goals against and .926 save percentage.

2010-11: Stolarz shared the goaltending duties for the Empire Junior Hockey League's Jersey Hitmen with Kyle Shapiro. He finished with a 10-4 mark and had a 3.19 goals against and .902 save percentage. The Hitmen finished sixth in the West Conference. Appearing in 3 of 7 playoff games, Stolarz was 1-2 and had a 3.13 goals against and .908 save percentage.

2011-12: Stolarz played in 50 of 60 games for the North American Hockey League's Corpus Christi IceRays. He finished 23-26 with three shutouts and had a 2.84 goals against and .920 save percentage. Corpus Christi missed the NAHL playoffs – finishing two points behind fourth-place Odessa in the South Division for the final spot. Stolarz committed to playing college hockey at Nebraska-Omaha in 2012-13. He was invited to the NHL Draft Combine and ranked fourth amongst North American goalies in Central Scouting's final rankings (up from 20th in the mid-term rankings) prior to the 2012 NHL Draft.

 

Talent Analysis

Stolarz is a butterfly goaltender with good size who makes good use of his size in limiting the choices of shooters.  He isn't afraid to challenge shooters, and generally plays a good positional game that doesn't leave many options for an opposing shooter.  Stolarz could stand to work on his post-to-post coverage, but that is something that he'll have time to work on.

 

Future

Stolarz is in his freshman season with the University of Nebraska-Omaha.

While the Philadelphia Flyers have not had the most dazzling prospect pool in recent NHL memory, they have had a steady amount of success from the top of their ranks. While consistently trading away first and second round picks does not provide the steadiest foundation from which to build an organization, the Flyers have had almost astonishing success making trades for high-end players who are just hitting their developmental stride.

Picking goaltenders from the junior ranks can be a challenge. The OHL tends to be a league where the dominant netminders are 18 years of age and up, which means that prospecting draft-eligible goalies is an exercise in alchemy combining relationship building, practice viewing, trust, and speculation.

While the Philadelphia Flyers prospect pool consistently hovers near the bottom of the league, it is not for a lack of production. A steady stream of graduates has kept the team rotating through young talent since the end of the 2004-05 NHL Lockout. Though they once again lack blue-chip prospects within their pool, most of the weight for the future of the team is carried by young NHL players such as Claude Giroux, Jakub Voracek, Sean Couturier, and the Schenn brothers, Luke and Brayden.

With an incredible amount of young talent on the NHL roster, an intriguing group of prospects on the verge of becoming NHL regulars, and championship aspirations, there is a delicate balancing act going on within the Philadelphia Flyers' front office. There is also a vital need to keep the defense from falling into disrepair with Chris Pronger's injury problems and Kimmo Timonen's inevitable fall from the upper echelon of NHL defensemen.
