Goalie Thread
Figure it out guys. Please, try to be honest with your skill level; it will be much more fun if we have evenly matched goalies and you make us earn our goals. I guess the preference should be for guys that don't skate out so that more people can be involved, but Zephyr has dibs on one net because of seniority and the Rink Rat Ticket Exchange. He can give it up if he's willing.

If there’s an open spot, I certainly wouldn’t mind taking a shot or two…I play most of the time at the low B or high C level so I’m not sure how that stacks up with the skill levels of others.

Which league? I know Kettler leagues are supposedly better than Fairfax. We should probably try to normalize as much as possible.
You're the reason that I hate Nova Scotia.
HNA primarily, though I’ve subbed for teams on occasion at Piney and Laurel.

I guess first we should see how many people can make it NO MATTER WHAT. Goalies are pretty dependable but this will be hard to organize and be fair to everyone if we have a bunch of “maybes.”
Then we should see how many people care about sharing a net or not.
As long as everyone can skate and are actually goalies I don’t think we should care about levels too much.
I’m probably B level ice at this point since I’ve been playing primarily inline for the past 8 years but I also stayed at a holiday inn express last night, so who knows?
Hockey players aren't like other people. Witt after being hit by a car:
I’m okay. No big deal...I’ve got to go play some hockey. I’m a hockey player.
Good call…I know I can definitely make it, and I don’t mind sharing a net at least to some degree…obviously 2 goalies is best, but 3 still works well since you can rotate for breathers yet still be on the ice far longer than you’re off it. More than that and everyone starts to get cold IMO.

Boom, two goalies.
That was easy!!!
My ability to post is only surpassed by my ability to pinch pennies.
If not the appropriate place to ask, I understand, but when (date/time) are you guys doing this? I would like to see what you more hockey knowledgeable Rink Rats are really made of, maybe snap a few pictures.

I think we’re going to cut this off after this first 24 hours and just go with me and Kerry Fraser’s Hairspray then.
Killer_Carlson since you’re not sure why don’t you mail F&B and sign-up as a player.
For the next one I’ll play player if we have more goalies respond because I think it is best with just two (esp. since this is looking like they are setting up a real game instead of a pickup. No one wants to be the traitor goalie.)

Sounds good…I’ll email F&B and make sure to get him his necessary protection money bribe ice fees.

We should get somebody to be a ref.
If only so we can have faceoffs.

Maybe one of the spare goalies could do this?

I will dominate in faceoffs! And I don’t think we have a spare goalie.

You'd beat me for sure
because I haven’t played center since I was 11. I think it’s just better to have faceoffs because it helps promote line changing and keeps people playing their positions.

i agree to the faceoff’s keeping lines changing and people playing their positions. Patterson park does this for their pick up’s. They just have a wing drop the puck. I say no refs.. cause i will want to take cheap shots on F and B too. hahaha jk
