I start in net today for my first official league game ever.

Give me your WORST pep talk.

My nephew decided he wanted to start playing hockey as an adult and became a goalie and went into it with no preparation and threw up 3 times from the workout of it. But he had fun and has continued!

I've been playing goal in a learn to play since October (skating since last July) entirely self taught and am very much an adult.

Have not vomited yet, though. So I've got that going for me? I think?

Let's goooo, fellow goalie!

If you close your eyes anytime they take a shot, there's a 50/50 chance you stop it... probably

Let's goooooo!

Is that like... a philosophical thing? If I don't see the goal it both IS and ISN'T a goal until I open my eyes to confirm it?

Speaking from experience, Even if you're down 7-2 in your first start on your new team, if you didn't see them, you didn't let them in😎

I like this advice. I will use it.

Even if you suck, goalies are hard to come by in beer leagues so youll probably not be kicked out

You can in fact stop a beachball

Dan Cloutier sometimes had issues stopping beach balls, but still got paid 6 million by the Kings.

I think it's because his helmet wasn't intimidating enough.
