If you had a reasonable amount of skating ability you could probably pass as a goalie until you were required to make any sort of challenging save. If they shoot the puck right at you you should be ok for a bit.

That's what I'm thinking. Pure surface area and reasonable luck might get you through for a while.

Especially if you are playing with a good defensive team. They can help a lot keeping guys on bad angles and out from the front of the net. I think the Canadian Women's team only gave up 2 shots in the first period against Switzerland yesterday. If you are part of a lopsided matchup like that you could hide pretty well.

Sounds like I should sign up for the NHL as a goalie

Goalie is fun. I used to play goalie a lot when I played with my buddies on the outdoor rink as a youth. They all played organized hockey and I never did but I had pretty good reflexes from playing SS and a good ability to block from playing C in baseball so I was a pretty decent.

NHL I am not so sure about. Those guys can shoot the puck over 100mph. You have a lot of padding and all but I almost rather it went in the net.

That’s possible. Maybe I can just lay down the whole time
