I start next game. I am nervous.

It's now on the family mantle above the fireplace. I got ice cream from Dairy Queen tonight!

@seagoal Coach gave it to me.

On my highschool JV team, I am the second string goalie. The starter was getting creamed 6-0 in the first period. He couldn't take it anymore, so coach put me in second period. I let in a goal on my first shot against. The song my home rink played after that goal was Taylor Swift's shake it off. That is the song in my head after goals in. So I remembered to play angles like my mentor told me because I'm short. I made key saves that kept us in the game. My team started to pound the other goalie with shots. Two unanswered goals go in a minute apart ending the second period. Third period starts and we're down 7-2. 18:57, we're now down 7-4. I then get undressed on a 1-0 breakaway at 14:37. Coach calls for a time out, telling us that we can still win. We score 3 more. Then it was OT. I took the first shot against and the puck rebounds past play. The puck was sitting right in front of our blue line. Our first line center comes in off a line change, breaks in and scored! It was a crazy game. I was on top of the world, and I got the hardhat for tonight.

Just ordered a Warrior F1 senior + because they are on sale.

I was thinking of Graf skates because of all the great things I have heard about them. I was thinking of those or the cheaper Bauer Koneckt skates. I am in a old pair of Bauers with cowlings and they hurt my feet.

I have seen all sorts of cheats at stick and puck with older goalies. One guy had two sets of floaters on his chesty. He couldn't move that well so I thought it was a useless cheat.

I am getting by in practices with a used no name mask, but I was told that I need a certified cage when the season starts. I need a whole new mask. My budget is $500. I know I can't get a great mask for that amount of money, but something has to be there in that price point. I play JV high school hockey if that helps with your recommendations.

I am. I'm not all that good but my mentor told me to keep in mind that every goal against teaches to play better. He also told me to shake off goals. Shake it off by Taylor Swift is the song in my head after a goal lol

My name is Ethan and I am a beginning goalie. I just started with some used gear, but I hope to have a True set like Marc Andre Fleury had in Chicago after I save up. I have a lot to learn and this looks like the place to do it.
