Do you guys have recommendations for gear for a first time goalie? Like, never goalie'd in my life but is pretty decent at catching things flying at her face? I don't have a style preference (yet). I'm looking for "will keep me from being seriously injured" and "not taking out a second mortgage". I know, I know, this poo poo is expensive.

**OMG So much stuff from Vargatron*

Getting rid of the "styles of play" idea just lifted a big worry from my shoulders. Thanks! I'll keep an eye out for future posts. :)

I'm in Austin, TX and supposedly there's a goalie drought. During my LTP sessions we usually have no goalies, sometimes one goalie, rarely two, and once we had FIVE GOALIES (scrimmage was so much fun and a heap of crazy that day). The nearest Play It Again Sports doesn't have much in the way of goalie stuff but I was able to pick up a well used blocker, glove and stick so I can at least practice out in the yard. I'll definitely ask around, though. I'm pretty much limited to online and the pro shops.

Thanks, guys, for the info so far!

I had no idea this was a thing to worry about.

Why yes, I did revive an old thread. BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN TENDYS!

I went to my first goalie clinic over the weekend.
First time on the ice fully dressed. And I almost had it right. Once I was sorted out (who needs circulation in your legs or free movement?) I had fun!

I took a puck dead to the face and laughed. gently caress yeah, let's do this poo poo again!!!!

I need to break in my chesty and it was recommended that I just wear it a lot and let my natural oh so delightful sweat help break it down. So of course I want to do something stupid. Like wear it for a bit in my barely air conditioned gym in Texas where it's triple digits until the sun burns out and doing some overhead work.

That's...that's probably a really bad idea...

Just put it in the bathroom while you're taking a shower.

Oh, well, I guess if you're going to use LOGIC...
