Wes Goldie is a Canadian
professional ice hockey
right winger
who currently plays for the Alaska Aces of the ECHL
.
Goldie has scored an ECHL-best 175 goals while not missing a single game over the last four seasons with the Victoria Salmon Kings, including 44 last year, second only to Utah's Ryan Kinasewich. He also finished second in the league with 48 goals (a North American career-high) in 2009, when he earned first team all-ECHL honors, and 41 in 2007, while leading the ECHL with 42 in 2008 (two better than younger brother, Ash). Wes shared the league lead in shorthanded goals for three consecutive years beginning in 2007, scoring 19 over that span.
He began his pro career under the tutelage of former Aces head coach and current St. Louis bench boss Davis Payne in Pee Dee (no longer members of the ECHL), before playing the 2003-04 season with the Pride under another former Alaska head coach, Perry Florio, and finishing tied for fourth in the league with 36 goals. His 289 career ECHL goals rank eighth all-time in league history; 37 or more this season would move Goldie to second all-time. He scored one goal in his two AHL appearances, both with Bridgeport in 2004.
Prior to turning pro at the tail end of the 1999-2000 season, Goldie played four years in the Ontario Hockey League, scoring 121 over his last three campaigns, including a junior-best 46 in 1998-99, good enough for sixth in the OHL. He has missed the playoffs only once in his eight full seasons as a professional (2003–04), and owns 56 points (34g-22a) in 61 career postseason games.
Goldie hold both the ECHL records for regular season goals, and most ECHL career goals.
