Re: Roller/Ice Hockey.... beginning Q\'s
[ QUOTE ]
Any suggestions on Goalie/D/F? I don't really care and would love to play any position. I always imagined goalies needed to be ultra-flexible.. however my friend said he was a goalie for a roller hockey team and he couldn't even come close to doing the splits and said he had the lowest GAA in the regular season.
Of course I need experience, but I think I can develop rather quickly in hockey-sense if I played often. I'm not trying to go pro, just trying to play and spend some free time. I'm very competitive.
I'm guessing size won't matter much in the lowest leagues, correct? How physical are the low leagues?
Thanks for your post!

Only play goalie if you really enjoy it. I'd also try to avoid playing D, because once everyone knows you can play it, you will never get to play O. Start at one of the wing positions.
Also, D sucks because you get blamed for every goal while the dumbfuck O players fail to backcheck.
