Made the switch!!!
I made the switch for the first time tonight. I was a little nervous at first since I've never played goal on ice.
All I can say is....IT IS FREAKIN SWEET!!!! Being able to glide across make such a big difference. And being able to stay cool helps alot too.
When sliding across I can use my momentum to get back up quicker and Its ALOT easier on the knees.
Having said that roller hockey helped alot with my positioning and butterfly cuz that's what I relied on most.
As for roller hockey I'll probably play out next season just to stay in shape and work on my skating. It's just too hard on the knees as a goalie....for me anyways.
