I’m almost that age and I consider myself physically fit enough to tend goal for a hockey team. It’s not exactly heavy lifting. Just sort of sit in front of the goal and get in the way of the puck as much as possible. So long as I’m not skating up and down the ice like a lunatic, I think I’m more than capable of tending goal.

Tell that to my goalie. We start our breakout from the blue line. My goalie spends as much time on offense as he does on defense and he passes better than half the team.
Goaltending is no longer the fattest guy on the team or the guy who could afford the 2 grand on a set of Vaughn’s.
