Goalies

The goalie is the most important position on the ice. Without Goalies, games can not take place. While the house league will have a few returning goalies from last season, a majority of teams will have first time goalies.


All members of the house league community should help to encourage and support our beginner goalies and help to create an environment where playing goalie is a fun and exciting experience, not a chore that everyone has to suffer through.
