I know you can get monochromatic jerseys from goaliemonkey and whatnot, but is there anywhere that sells goalie cut jerseys for different professional teams?

Does anyone have a Savior mask? I’m considering one, but noticed that the construction is only fiberglass and Kevlar. There’s no carbon fiber. I am wondering if anyone has had issues with ringing in the ears or finding the helmet to be overly heavy?

I went and tried on the tacks pads in store in an intermediate 31 and intermediate 30. The 30 inch pad seemed to be about 25-.5 inches skinnier than the 31s. I was under the impression that they would be the same width since they’re both intermediate, and only the junior pads would be that width.

I’m going to go back tomorrow and measure, but is this something you all are aware of? And for someone who plays high school varsity will the .5 less width matter?

Hey, everyone!

Last year you all helped us reach our team $2k goal and raise an astonishing $13k for the Kristen French Child Advocacy Centre.

We are back this year in support of McMaster Childrens Hospital! This year not just with the 4 regular+1 goalie game but we are also going to put these fine athletic goalies through All Star style competition events. Thats right, if you thought watching 20 fully dressed middle aged goalies try to skate 200 feet wasn't good enough, now we're gonna make them race!

If you live in Ontario, then you likely know somebody whose child has needed to stay at this wonderful facility. The people here are truly remarkable. They need all the support we can provide them. So, please, donate whatever amount you can. Share this with friends and loved ones.

Please click here to go to our page and donate. Its currently a bit more bare-bones than the page was last year but we only have 15 days to get the money raised due to some time constraints we have faced and I didn't care to waste time on frills.

And, as always, if you are in the area on October 25th, please come out and support the WNHL Super-Duper Sunday on October 25th at the Meridian Centre in St Catharines.

Hi everyone,

I used to play competitive hockey as a goalie and practiced every day. One thing that made me uneasy was how little data I had to understand my own game.

I was putting in the work, but I wanted a clearer picture of what I was doing well, where I was struggling, and whether the same patterns kept coming up.

That experience is why I built SmartGoalie. I want to help young goalies have easier access to their own performance data and feel more informed about their development.

The app lets you record saves, goals, and shot locations, along with passes and puck carry routes leading up to a shot. The controls are simple: tap to record a pass, drag to trace a carry, and tap or hold to record a save or goal.

I’ve attached a few screenshots showing the tracking screen and analytics.

If you’re a goalie, parent, or coach and decide to give it a try, I’d really appreciate your honest feedback. Is it easy to use? Does the information help you understand the game better? What would make it more useful for you?

I’m the developer, so I’m happy to answer questions here too. Thanks for taking a look!

Hi guys, shopping for new pads. Tried on nearly every pad in the local hockey monkey. I liked True 9x3, and Warrior G7 Pro. The feel of the True is great rotation and it butterflies more square to the front. But, the flat boot and free ankle feel is throwing me off, and I noticed they can move up and down on my leg sometimes because there’s no boot straps.

The Warrior is double strapped to my skates and I have the familiar feeling of being attached to a flexible boot and my skate pulling the pad when I flex my foot or point my toes. And they don’t move up and down at all.

Third choice was probably Bauer SV Pro.

Coming from beat up TPS R6 that I bought for $200 15 years ago (so I don’t need much… playing men’s league 1x a week). Im 44 and I’m used to the locked in strapped down feel. I think the Warrior would be an easier transition right away. I don’t mind learning a new pad, but is the True going to require a whole new game or playing style, or does the flat boot/open ankle just become comfortable and normal?

And lastly, money isn’t a top issue but Warrior is at about $560, and True is at $960… is it worth the difference? Thanks in advance!
