TORONTO — Canadian goalkeeper James Pantemis was honoured Thursday for his acrobatic save at the Toulon Tournament in June.

The 21-year-old from Kirkland, who plays for the Montreal Impact, earned the 2018 Allstate Canadian National Teams Good Hands Award.

Pantemis’s save came in the 41st minute with Canada leading Japan 1-0 at the prestigious youth tournament in France. The Canadian ‘keeper managed to tip Ayase Ueda’s hard-hit shot from a sharp angle over the bar and Canada went on to earn a draw en route to a sixth place finish at the event.
