Some of you guys amaze me... 80 durometer on sport court? Must be nice to never have to make any explosive movements across the crease.
Correctly played, goaltending skating is incredibly explosive. The problem is you just get to the point where you can't get enough "bite" in your skates to support your push-offs. This is true for ice hockey as well (ask any of the good ice hockey players). As you move up in skill level you'll find that sport court becomes less and less desireable and roll-on becomes more and more desireable. In fact- the guys who skate out well would love to play on roll-on but the puck is much faster on sport court (for the same reason incidentally that the "bite" on your skates is less).
76A is about as hard as most decent goalies will be able to go with on sport court without losing edge during explosive movements.
Anything about harder wheels allowing them to slide across the crease like on ice is pure poppy****.
