WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

"Solid, good with legs, handles the puck well." (Frank Orr, Toronto Star, March 12, 1985).

"Kay Whitmore is heir apparent to Liut, but as long as the Whalers continue to pay Brodeur, Whitmore will have to play the waiting game." (The Hockey News 1989 Yearbook, p. 45)

"Whitmore has done a lot of tutoring for young goaltenders down on the farm. He's a good team guy, willing to work in conjunction with others ahead of him on the depth chart. However, he lacks NHL-level ability." (The Sports Forecaster 2002-03, p. 219)
