Tyler Masternak

He is the shutout sensation of the Northern Ontario Jr. Hockey League.

With a 2000 birth date, goalie Tyler Masternak is into his final season of NOJHL play as the whitewash wizard who tends the twine for the Timmins Rock.

Dating back to the 2017-2018 season when he was the backup goalie in Timmins as an NOJHL rookie, Masternak now has 17 — yes, 17 — shutouts.

A slender tender who stands in at 5-foot-11, 170 pounds, Masternak has, season by season, ascended to become a top goalie in the NOJHL.

After being acquired by Timmins from the Powassan Voodoos in 2017-2018, Masternak had a 6-9-1 record with a 2.87 goals against average, .907 save percentage and two shutouts for the Rock.

Then, in 2018-2019, Masternak posted a 29-13-0 record with a 2.51 goals against average, .907 save percentage and six shutouts.

He was even better in 2019-2020 with a 24-6-0 record, 1.66 goals against average, .932 save percentage and eight more shutouts.

And thus far in 2020-2021, Masternak has a 3-0-0 record, 0.67 goals against average, .971 save percentage and his 17th career NOJHL shutout.

With career numbers that he has put up in the NOJHL to date, one would think, hope and trust that some Canadian or American school is going to come along and recruit Masternak ahead of the 2021-2022 season.
