This past week I was very excited to read in the Journal of Orthopedic and Sport Physical Therapy an article written about FAIS (the reason for my blog) and the rehabilitation progression for Goalies.

The “Game of Hockey” has always been a “huge” part of my life! One of my favorite past times continues to be watching a “great” hockey game at any level. As long as it’s competitive, I can sit, watch and cheer as two teams battle each other for the “win!”

Throughout the years, hockey has provided me with an abundance of enjoyable experiences as a competitor, coach, scout, mentor, etc. In fact, from the time I first put on a pair of skates back in the late-1970s, I have been so ...
