Tom Hanks as a hockey player: scouting report

Tom Hanks belongs in goal, and the role he is best known for explains why. In Forrest Gump his character ran back and forth across America, and the best mark on his card is skating, which in the crease means tireless lateral movement and quick recovery. Goaltending sits right behind it, so this is a netminder who can face a barrage of shots and still be moving well late in the third period.

He won back to back Academy Awards for Best Actor, for Philadelphia and Forrest Gump, and that is the kind of consistency a goalie needs over a full season. In Cast Away he spent most of the film alone on an island with only a volleyball for company, and if any player can handle the solitude of the crease, it is him. He has played an astronaut in Apollo 13, a soldier in Saving Private Ryan and the voice of Woody in Toy Story, and that range shows up in a goalie who can play the puck, stay square and stay calm. His defense is strong, so he reads the play in front of him well, and his passing is solid enough to start the breakout.

Shooting is the weakest part of his card, which barely matters in net. His next best spot is on defense, where his skating and defensive reads would make him a mobile, steady blueliner, and center is just behind. He is also a well known collector of manual typewriters, a patient, methodical hobby that suits the position. Draft him as a first goalie, put a solid defense in front of him, and let him carry the load night after night.
