Its MUST reading for any new family to Youth Hockey.
How to put on Goalie Gear for Mites
Click on the Title above to see the video. I shot a video of putting the goalie gear on Grant. This should help parents who are dressing their son or daughter in the goalie gear for the first time. I hope it helps putting that gear on for the first time... One thing to keep in mind.. not all of the pads that the Associaton has are the same type and design that I have shown in the video. Some of the pads are NOT designed for the butterly technique and DO NOT have the "knee pocket" that Grant's pads have. Several of the kids have banged their knees up dropping onto the ice while the pad has rotated to the outside, causing their knee to become exposed. I would recommend looking at the pads when you have them at home and making a dry run getting the dressed. Some of the kids have worn separate knee pads, and some have worn their shin pads under the goalie pads. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask your coach about the pad set that your team will be using. Thanks, Coach Greg
