As the summer months continue to drag on, we’re not having any problems staying busy. Not only are we getting ready for our first full season of providing free and premium goaltending scouting services, we’re also working hard on the layout of our new Monthly Scouting Journal.

As one of the only independent goalie scouting services in the world, we pride ourselves on offering readers and hockey fans around the world with a library of premium and free scouting services.

One of the many free features we will be offering is a set of goalie rankings for EA Sports’ NHL11 on the Playstation 3. If you’re like us and play the series on a consistent basis, you can now take advantage of solid rankings for every NHL and AHL goalie in the game (if you play on PS3).

The process to download our rankings is simple. It is part of the most popular an most downloaded Rosters Update on the web! Just check out the Ultimate Roster Update website and follow the instructions. It’s a simple download and install process and it automatically loads our rankings alongside the latest NHL and AHL roster changes.

In order to get a head start on things and test out the ranking process, we’ve gone ahead and completed a set of initial rankings for NHL10 on the PS3. Just click above to visit the website and download the latest update for free!

If you haven’t heard about some of the new features for NHL11, be sure to read this blog by Gurn Sumal, one of the game’s producers. Sumal is not only a goalie in real life, but a crazy goalie gear afficionado as well.

So aside from a better physics engine and more enhancements to their online platform, NHL11 will be including more sets of goalie gear than ever before – 32 to be exact.

As you can see, the detail is picture-perfect, all the way down to the outer-stitching on blockers and the break divits on the outer rolls of leg pads. You can even see the graphics on sticks and tape on the knobs of sticks. Sweet!

Aside from the obvious brands like Reebok Revokes and Bauer Reflexes, Sumal breaks down all eight sets of Vaughn leg pads, including the all-new SLW (stands for super light-weight) series worn by Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen.

We’ll find a place to drop a link to the Ultimate Rosters Update for NHL11 once the game gets closer to launch (I believe in mid-September as usual). For now, feel free to download the latest Ultimate Roster Update for NHL10 and let us know how you like our test-rankings!
