Why do you play?
I play because I love the excitement of the game. |
Why are you a goalie?
Am goalie because I have always enjoyed the position and like being
able to change the momentum of a game. |
How important is the
goalie position?
Goalie position is very important because you are the last line
of defense. You are the quarterback of the defense and help tell
the guys in front of you what is going on. |
Any advice for aspiring
goalies?
Keep working hard practicing everyday. Work on areas of your game
that you are weak on and realize that you aren't going to make every
save. Realize what you did wrong when you let a goal in and then
put it past you and save the next one. |
