Thinking about re-taking up goaltending?

[LivHockey84 0]

Hey all, As some of you may already know. Last season i started playing hockey again for the first time in 9 years. Just drop-in but i used to be a goalie in my youth(for 10 years) and i switched to defense last year. Now that it's a new season i'm starting to get the itch it get back in the net. I'm 26' and in pretty good physical shape, mostly due to the fact i play baseball in the summers. One of the things that spurred this idea is im unemployed and may be forced to sell my defense equipment and when i re-buy stuff it might as well be goalie gear. IDK if it will be this season but by next for sure...what do y'all think? At least when i play drop-in it will be free....lol

BUT...if i get a god enough job, i may just get goalie equipment anyway. Just keep the defense gear as spare stuff or sell some of it to get cash for the goal gear. I put it up on CL to see what i can get.

What do you love the most about each position? Can you think of more reasons for one of them?

Can you borrow someone elses gear and try going in goal for a few hours to see if you still love it like you used to.....before buying all the gear yourself (it aint cheap!)

Good luck with the job hunt as well buddy

I think it's the defensive mindset that i love about playing goalie as well as playing defense, i just like it :) And as far as the gear goes, probably not but i know for a fact i'll still love it, i always have and never have stopped. Part of the reason for me switichin' to D was the money fact.

sell the equipment as a last resort. i've never been in that predicament, but a few friends of mine have, and they regret it. yes, the quick influx of cash is nice, but its never much and it will end up costing you a lot more in the long run.

yes i know, but mortgage needs payin'. Ideally i get a job in the next month and i slowly buy some good used goal equipment and all problems are solved!
