The goaltender is the one of the most demanding positions played on the rink. He/she carries the whole team's dignity like a burden upon his/her back. Clad in armour from head to foot, these ice warriors defend their team's honour when all else fails. They take the shots when the game gets tough. It is a task for the confident, the brave and the passionate.
When a team is led to victory, they are among the ones to be praised. But when one foul mistake is made and the team is defeated, they are the ones that take the blame. Their ability to stay in focus during a game is something that should be admired. For they are the ones under the most pressure to succeed. But it's their love and passion for the game that will drive them to that success.
