Actually have a question of my own now: One of the benefits of working at a rink is that I can keep my equipment in a storage room and not have to lug two sets of gear in and out of my car every time I wanna play- this lets me easily fill in as the second goaltender when two don't show up. I feel like I'm getting better...but a good 80% of the goals I let in this past session were short side as a result of me not hugging the post correctly. Are there any specific drills I can do to help this, or do I have to just consciously figure it out? Thanks

How do you feel about them?

I'll have to look into that, thanks. The bruise looked pretty cool at least

I'm gonna make another quick suggestion...make sure you buy goalie knee pads and make sure they're on snug so they don't slide down your leg...because the one time your kneecap is exposed, you are going to get hit with a puck there and it's not going to be pleasant. ow.

I was going to type a lot, but m3thods pretty much had the exact experience I did. If I could offer any advice, I would say to try not to get too frustrated with your play. When you first start playing goal at pickup, you're inevitably gonna get absolutely torched. The silver lining to it, at least in my experience, is that I noticed improvement in my play every time I strapped on the pads. I've only been playing goal for about a year so I'm no expert, but like the other dudes in this topic I'd be more than happy to help you with any questions. P.S. Thank you for helping bring the site back up! I don't post super often but I'm here almost every day and it was kinda weird not having it around for awhile, haha.

Looks like the jerseys worked!

Ahhhhh that Ducks jersey is nice!

I scorekept a game today where one of the kids had these exact gloves. They are absolutely GORGEOUS in person.

Hahaha awesome

For the person who asked to see my purple/lime green men's league jerseys in my glove topic: We've all bought purple socks since these pictures were taken last season, it looks even more ridiculous haha.
