Well just an update on my progress since my first season last year...
I got my new/old gear from GGSU at Xmas time and everything fits well, most importantly, the catcher actually catches pucks haha.
In late Jan/ Feb I got asked to fill in for our summer league playoffs as a few goalies were out. I played for one team in the first group and went 2-1 but didn't make it through.
Then in the final series one goalie went down and I got called up again and went 3-2 and won the cup! , Boy was I nervous, my team was better but their goalie was on form and it went the distance (5 games series) It really helped my confidence knowing I could hang with some better players than what I will face in Winter
We're currently half way through Winter league and although my team is has a couple of better players than last season, I've also improved heaps.
My current record is 7-0-1 with 1.14 GAA and .931% we're coming second to a team who have let in 11 goals in 11 games! We've played them twice and tied 2-2 and just last weekend we won 3-1 that was an awesome game form our guys.
I've even lost my nerves and don't need a beer beforehand anymore, I can just enjoy the game now. But sometimes will still have a beer, because why not 😉
