Carey Price (born on August 16, 1987 in Vancouver, British Columbia; but living in Williams Lake, British Columbia) is a major junior ice hockey goaltender playing for the Tri-City Americans of the Western Hockey League. He was drafted in the first round, fifth overall in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft by the Montreal Canadiens.

Price plays a butterfly style, leaving little for opponents to shoot at down low. He also has a quick glove hand that allows him to take away the top corner.

Price's father, Jerry, was also a goaltender. The elder Price was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the eighth round, 126th overall in the 1978 NHL Amateur Draft. His father never played in the NHL, but he did play four seasons of pro hockey in various leagues. His mother, Lynda, is the reigning and undisputed Chief of the Ulkatcho First Nation. His sister, Kayla, attends school at Williams Lake Secondary School.

His cousin is Shane Doan, the reigning captain of the Phoenix Coyotes.

Carey was named Tournament MVP at the 2007 IIHF World Junior (U20) Ice Hockey Championship in Sweden in Canada's third straight (thirteenth overall) gold medal win. He was also named the tournament's top goaltender, tournament's MVP and was named to the tournament's All-Star Team along with teammates Jonathan Toews and Kris Letang.

Carey is currently not signed by the Montreal Canadiens, if not signed before the 2007 NHL Entry draft he will be a "free agent" and could get drafted again.

Carey's favourite quote is "Ulkatcho Later".
