If you’re a youth goalie or a parent with one, PLEASE READ THIS.. I was a youth goalie, for years. I started out strong, was good, best around in my age group. When going from age 14 to 15 i got a new coach, one who thought HE knew best how goalies should play. He forced me to start staying upright more, and told me not to drop down unless i HAD to. It completely ruined my game, i never played high-school hockey, and i was never good again because i wasnt playing naturally.. Please, PLEASE if you see a coach making a kid change his style because he thinks he knows best, please stop it IMMEDIATELY. It killed me that i never got to have fun playing goalie again, and never moved on.. Note: This only goes for kids who have been playing the position for years and developed their own style. If they’re a brand new goalie, never played, then a bit of direction is good. But more than anything, the direction SHOULD be, “do whatever comes naturally to stop the puck” cause its different for every kid. Please learn from my mistake of letting that coach ruin hockey for me...
+source for sports im a senior level pad never realy ordered pads always baught second hand but im going to be getting the warrior ritual g3s I was just wandering what is the +1 and +2 on the pads
extra inch or extra two inches above the knee. if your butterfly is tight, you'll want less cause it can feel bulky. if your butterfly isn't so tight, the extra material will cover your 5-hole better

I have Vaughn Ventus pads
Why does the camera keep panning up to his face when he's trying to point out something about the pads?
seriously, who is buying new goalie gear for a kid this small?
Someone must buy the gear so ohers can buy them later.
What's wrong with it?
