On 31 Thoughts, Francois Allaire said small goalies could succeed, but they would need to be exceptional at something to make up for their decreased size. So, I think Wolf could be a good goalie, but he’ll have to have a characteristic that makes up for being short, like excellent movement, an ability to read the play very well, etc.

From my (very) limited viewings, Wolf seems to move well in the net, be composed and read the play well.

Time will tell whether any of Wolf’s strengths are strong enough to make up for his size.
