Turning back the clock

[fiveholegoalie]

Thought it would be interesting to see pictures of board members of when they were younger playing in goal and then comparing it to a more recent photo. It’s amazing to see how you’ve grown and developed over the years when comparing the two side by side.

So get out those scrapbooks and start digging for some pictures!

Below are some photos of some of our students that sent some in for me to post.

I havent been playing long but heres my "story":

I was born with an ankle strength problem so I had trouble skating because I needed special expensive skates. So I hated hockey until around age 9 where I played ball hockey with my bro for fun once. So I tried goalie and I liked it so I joined a ball hockey league. Eventually I decided to try skating again so I went into skating lessons. Eventually, my ankle began to strengthen so I was able to skate better with less pain. Then, my friend played rep and said I could go out for a skate in his team's extra goalie equipment set. So I went out and sucked really bad but I enjoyed it. Eventually, I played some 3-on-3 and was in some goalie camps and then played my first hockey season. I only have vids of my second, third and fourth hockey seasons.

What kind of mask are you wearing in the 1974 picture?

[secross2]

it was called a fibro mask or something like that.
The choices were a plastic cooper, a plastic DR or the Fibro Mask.
It was a good mask. I wore it up until PEEWEE, So from Pollywog's to Squirt. It was actually stolen from me in 1997.......I also have a set of Riddle leather skates with Lamb Leather cowling's.....

Just the camera's angle my friend:


I need to wear size 32 pants, but my legs don't fit in those, so most of the time, I have to buy 34 and use a belt.
