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.
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.

In addition to a goalie training budget, we offer steep discounts on the organization fees so long as the roster is full with 2 goalies. This is at the U14A level.

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

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.

There are a couple "free goalies" that I am aware of. My son is not "free" but he does get a very generous budget for training. Assuming we would have spent that money anyways (which we would have). We pay roughly 55-60% of what the skaters pay.

I have no complaints and I think its fair to the team, but also to us since they don't get the same "development" from practice.

Fair, and I am a goalie parent that has a kid that has a budget that we appreciate. However, you don't NEED to buy new stuff. Especially when they are young. I've bought mostly used items for my kid since he started. If you keep an eye on facebook marketplace, etc you can find a set of nicer pads for $200-300. Skates for $100 or less. etc.

Some things like Pants and Chesty are a bit tougher to buy used because they wear out quickly and are tough to size sometimes. But, its doable.
