Dustin Wolf (born April 16, 2001) is an American professional ice hockey goaltender for the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected in the seventh round of the 2019 NHL entry draft, 214th overall, by the Flames.
Wolf is noted for his small stature. Weighing 175 pounds and standing six feet tall, he is considered significantly undersized for a goaltender. Despite this, Wolf has been highly successful thus far, being named goaltender of the year in his respective leagues for four consecutive seasons from 2020 through 2023.
In his major junior career, Wolf played for the Everett Silvertips in the Western Hockey League (WHL), initially as the backup to Carter Hart before claiming the starting position the following season. Wolf would play for four seasons with the Silvertips, posting statistics at or near the top of the league in almost every category, and being named the league's goaltender of the year for two consecutive seasons.
As a professional player, Wolf has spent time with the Calgary Flames AHL affiliate, the Stockton Heat, and remained with the team through their relocation to become the Calgary Wranglers. As of the 2024–25 NHL season, he is playing full-time for the Flames, transitioning to the starting goaltender role. Wolf was named the AHL goaltender of the year in both of his first two full-time seasons in the league, posted league-leading statistics, and was considered one of the top NHL goaltending prospects during his time in the league, with The Hockey Writers ranking him as the number one prospect in 2023.
