Profole on Joni Oritio
Talent Analysis
The latest goaltending prospect to come from the goalie hotbed of Turku, Ortio has shown flashes of being a top flight goalie – both at the A junior level with TPS and playing for the surprising bronze medal-winning Finnish under-18 squad. At 6-1, 181, he has the prototypical size that scouts look for and is capable of making outstanding stops. Perhaps his biggest strength is his level-headedness, and an ability to never get too flustered or frustrated at early struggles. His biggest challenge will be increasing his physical strength, quickness, and lateral movement as he adjusts from junior to professional shooters. Like many Finnish goalies, is strong on breakaways/penalty shots. Still developing his game with regards to positioning and rebound control.
