What makes Fujimoto an interesting netminder is her size — she’s listed at 5 foot 4 and just 119 lbs, despite clearly being one of the most agile and effective women’s netminders worldwide. This puts her at a direct contrast with the style of goaltending that, at the very least, the NHL has been moving towards — where size has become the predominant factor when first considering what can and can’t hold a netminder back. It’s even bled over into women’s hockey, to an extent. To put it in perspective, Labonte — the netminder Fujimoto herself has claimed influences her game — stands at 5 foot 9 and 159 lbs. That’s five inches and 40 lbs difference — for perspective, that’s roughly the size difference between Mitch Marner and Lawson Crouse.
