Third in the pecking order behind <a href=\"\/ca\/news\/maxime-crepeau\/\">Maxime Cr&eacute;peau<\/a> and <a href=\"\/ca\/news\/dayne-st-clair\/\">Dayne St. Clair<\/a>, Goodman is one for the future, and a home World Cup is invaluable experience at his age. See where he fits in our <a href=\"\/ca\/news\/canada-world-cup-profile\/\">Canada World Cup 2026 profile<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2>A Crystal Palace prospect on loan<\/h2>\n<p>Goodman is on the books at Crystal Palace but has built his game out on loan, a well-trodden path for a young keeper. Spells at AFC Wimbledon, Colchester United, Barnsley and Huddersfield Town have given him senior minutes up and down the EFL, with his Wimbledon loan the standout. The table below covers his main loan spells in our database.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Club<\/th><th style=\"text-align:center\">Starts<\/th><th style=\"text-align:center\">Saves<\/th><th style=\"text-align:center\">Clean sheets<\/th><th style=\"text-align:center\">Goals conceded<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>AFC Wimbledon (loan)<\/strong><\/td><td style=\"text-align:center\">54<\/td><td style=\"text-align:center\">110<\/td><td style=\"text-align:center\">25<\/td><td style=\"text-align:center\">41<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Colchester United (loan)<\/strong><\/td><td style=\"text-align:center\">40<\/td><td style=\"text-align:center\">124<\/td><td style=\"text-align:center\">4<\/td><td style=\"text-align:center\">65<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Barnsley (loan)<\/strong><\/td><td style=\"text-align:center\">22<\/td><td style=\"text-align:center\">60<\/td><td style=\"text-align:center\">1<\/td><td style=\"text-align:center\">36<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Huddersfield Town (loan)<\/strong><\/td><td style=\"text-align:center\">10<\/td><td style=\"text-align:center\">19<\/td><td style=\"text-align:center\">4<\/td><td style=\"text-align:center\">11<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n<h2>What the numbers say<\/h2>\n<p>For a young keeper, Goodman&#8217;s loan record is encouraging. He kept 25 clean sheets across his AFC Wimbledon loan and was kept busy at Colchester, where he made 124 saves and added a couple of penalty saves. The volume of minutes across four EFL clubs is the real value: regular senior football is exactly what a developing goalkeeper needs, and it is why Canada rate his ceiling.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Owen Goodman and Canada<\/h2>\n<p>For Canada, Goodman is the third goalkeeper, in the squad for the experience and as cover behind Cr&eacute;peau and St. Clair. Jesse Marsch handing him a World Cup squad place is a marker of how highly his potential is rated, even if minutes are unlikely. For the full picture, see our <a href=\"\/ca\/news\/canada-mens-national-soccer-team-players\/\">Canada men&#8217;s national soccer team players<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Canada 1-1 Bosnia and what is next<\/h2>\n<p>Goodman was part of the matchday group but did not feature in the 1-1 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina at BMO Field, with Cr&eacute;peau keeping goal. See how the team rated in our <a href=\"\/ca\/news\/canada-vs-bosnia-player-ratings\/\">Canada vs Bosnia player ratings<\/a>.

He kept 25 clean sheets in 54 starts, a 46 per cent shutout rate, and conceded just 41 goals across 4,860 minutes, or roughly 0.76 per game. He also commanded his box, claiming 38 high crosses, the kind of aerial authority that translates at any level.<\/p>\n<p>The wider loan tour shows the sheer volume behind his development: across AFC Wimbledon, Colchester United, Barnsley and Huddersfield Town, Goodman has racked up more than 11,000 senior minutes and made 313 saves. For a goalkeeper still this young, that body of EFL football is exactly why Canada are happy to carry him for the experience of a home World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Owen Goodman against Qatar<\/h2>\n<p>Goodman was among the goalkeeping cover but did not feature in Canada&#8217;s 6-0 win over Qatar.
