Another goalie here. Started
very late, but worked my way way up in around seven years (a little more than one of them lost through military service and a torn ACL during/after that).
I don't usually frequent this board on HF, but tonight I went here looking for / wanting to create a goaltending thread. Just one of those nights, where I just felt the urge to shout
"goaltending is the freakin' best job in all of sports"!
I obviously don't know whether that's the truth, too many games/positions I have never played. But I'm a creative/offensive player in soccer, so I know what that side generally feels like. It's great, but nothing really compares to completely robbing a guy with the glove, for me.
I would guess you guys could second that. Cheers!
