Who is Wes Goldie?

Wes Goldie is a Canadian retired professional ice hockey right winger who last played for the Alaska Aces of the ECHL. He is the ECHL’s all-time leader in career goals with 370.

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 in 2009, when he earned first team all-ECHL honors, and 41 in 2007, while leading the ECHL with 42 in 2008. 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 Davis Payne with the Pee Dee Pride. Goldie would play 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. In his lone recall to the AHL with Bridgeport in 2004, Goldie scored one goal in two games.

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, and owns 56 points in 61 career postseason games.
