First game as a goalie complete
First off I want to thank everybody that’s giving me recommendations on what to do pregame. I am feeling really good for somebody that took as many shots as I did for my first hockey game as a goalie. My hips are a little bit sore, but honestly, I feel like if I didn’t take into a lot of you guys said into consideration, I would be a hell of a lot more sore. Other than experience as a goalie in soccer and a catcher, I don’t really have much hockey goalie experience but the game I played. I went in five goals over 90 shots roughly we played for about two hours. I will probably always have a place in my heart for being a player in hockey but being a goalie was definitely a different breed of fun and I’m probably gonna stick with that for in line and ball hockey and stay as a player for ice hockey, unless somebody really needs a goalie, then I will hop in. Also, for anybody that’s sore the day after and doesn’t really have many viable solutions pickle juice is one hell of a way to help being sore for the next day after the game. Truth be told I already plan on getting some new goalie gear like a new glove and blocker and chest pad.
Edit : i’m not claiming to be a natural or good at hockey at all. This was a drop-in ball hockey game so everybody was different skill levels.
