Well, I did it. Yesterday i purchased a pair of Alex Auld pro-return REEBOK 9Ks.   The Second picture is a bit blurry, but you can see the decal on the bottom of the skates designating them as Auld's. And they even have his edge for quick reference.

Howdy, Sports fans! Welcome back to Noob Goalie! Sorry for the near two-month lack of updates. Life's been getting a bit more busy for me. But I'm keeping up with my quest to get my Gear. In fact, I'm going tomorrow (Saturday) to try on my first pair of Goal Skates! I'm going to be honest, I've never tried on a pair of Goal skates. I know the runners are a bit different, and you get a

..No, not your fancy Tempur-Pedic® memory foam pillows. I'm talking about Leg Pads! Now, Goalies have not always donned those high-tech oft oversized wonders we know as contemporary pads. Heck, when Hockey just starting- some Goalies didn't even WEAR leg protection- as it was against the rules of the time. Can you imagine trying to stare down a Slap-shot donning normal skater's gear?

Shazaam! Welcome back to "Noob Goalie"! It's Storming pretty hard outside, but I'm so glad you stopped by, because tonight I'm introducing our new series which highlights Goaltenders from each NHL team and pinpoints their particular style of playing the Position. I'm calling it: "The Way The Pros Play" Can you guess which team we're starting off with first? (..i hope the title wasn't a dead

..the title is probably something a goalie would hear pretty often if not for one particularly important piece of gear: The Mask. What is a Mask?- you might ask. "A goaltender mask, commonly referred to as a goalie mask or a hockey mask, is a mask worn by an ice hockey goaltender to protect the head from injury." (From the Wikipedia Article on Goaltender Masks) Jacques Plante was the first

Hi there! My Name is Lyndon A. Thanks for happening upon my blog. If you've read the blog title,(as i hope you have before i just pointed it out to you)- I'm a Noob Hockey Goalie. Well, let me rephrase that: I'm in the process of buying my Hockey Goalie gear so i can BE a Hockey Goalie. I've had a love affair with Ice Hockey since that first fall day in 1993 when the former Minnesota North
