They generally get the idea. Goalies are busy people. Sure - you could do that… or you could have the pegs and net done PROPERLY. I’ve seen the best skaters of multiple groups and teams struggle with it, trying to chip away like they’re making crushed ice for a snow cone. I’d rather do it myself quickly and properly - as goalie and especially as coach (it doesn’t inspire confidence in the young ‘uns to see 2-3 middle aged men down, gloves under their knees - which is the wont of the middle-aged hockey coach - spending 5 minutes of our 50 huffing and puffing while “setting up the nets”.

I've been in Europe the last 20+ years, last time I played on the smaller rinks was late 90's. Are the angles different? The game speed faster/slower?

I've been in Europe the last 20+ years, last time I played on the smaller rinks was late 90's. Are the angles different? The game speed faster/slower? Minimal if at all. I go back and forth often enough I don't even notice. I'd argue at lower levels of play skaters have to work harder and cover more ground so the quality and quantity of shots are lower, but, I have no data to back that up. As a goalie who plays the puck a lot, I notice to extra space, for sure. Edited June 22, 2021 by seagoal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creasecollector Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 My home rink many year ago was an International sized rink. You defintely have to play more patient as a goalie since there is more room to pass the puck, but I've always been fond of playing in a rink as large as that.

It's inaccurate to say the game is slower on larger ice. Speed is a function of how fast/slow the skaters are skating and shooting. But, for sure with the larger ice there is more ground to cover. So while the overall speed would be the same, it takes a bit longer to develop and unfold and "get to" us goalies. So theoretically if a play results in a shot on goal in say 4 seconds on an NHL rink, it might take 5 seconds on a international rink, especially at lower levels of play. I've played on our international ice in divisions 4, 5, and 6. It's more fun with 4, less fun with 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to paint the bucket though. That shot of you in your V8's does really showcase what you were saying in your other thread and it really does make me think that you're wearing your new set too tight.
