Within the associations, they do offer goalie training for $10 per session.

The house leagues / local leagues can't keep goalie because they are constantly being plucked for rep teams.

There is a serious lack of goaltending across all levels.

Goalies should be offered a deep discount to sign up. Would help offset some of the costs you need for the equipment.

HC needs a First Shift for goalies.

LOL Sounds like another reason why OHF and HC suck... Sorry thats happening. If you have a goalie kid, move them to KSL - better opportunities for things like this. Also, the full size net from a young age is great development.

All-in, goalies pay about 60% of what a player does. I think its very fair.

So KSL offers free registration for goalies?

The point was we need more goalies, and I would suggest most families balk due to registration, and equipment costs.


Not the amount of training they get, that is up to the individual.

I agree that goalies need to pay something but buying a pair of goalie pads and skates each year is more than what a regular player would pay to get to get new gear they've out grown. This year all I had to get was skates, shin pads and pants, which was < $200.
