I wanted to share a story of one of my goaltenders with everyone. Every young goaltender I coach eventually gets this story conveyed to them.
I have a goaltender that I work with; I'll call him "Jim" (for this story). "Jim" was a tremendous goaltender in Minor Midget AAA as a (91 birth year). I didn't know "Jim" back then but I did get to watch him play a little.
