A Chestermere, Alberta, native, Hauser is 5-3-2 with a 2.78 goals-against average and .913 save percentage through 11 games played in his second season with the Wenatchee Wild. He went 17-16-3 in 39 games played in 2023-24.
Before his time in Wenatchee, Hauser spent three seasons with the WHL’s Winnipeg Ice, posting the league’s top goals-against average of 2.00 during the 2021-22 season and earning WHL (East) First All-Star Team honors. He repeated the honor for the 2022-23 campaign.
Hauser won his 100th career WHL game last weekend with a 4-2 triumph over Kamloops.
Associate Head Coach Todd Knott on Hauser:
“He’s had incredible consistency at a high level. Consistency at that position is really important. It’s a calming influence on his teammates and he’s done that on different teams, good teams and teams that have struggled. He’s just their rock.”
The goaltender joins forwards Finn Brink (Maple Grove, Minnesota), Grady Deering (Des Moines, Iowa), Blake Montgomery (Annapolis, Maryland) and Vasily Zelenov (Moscow, Russia), as well as defenseman Luke Osburn (Plymouth, Michigan) in the current class of 2025.
