| upcoming winter hockey - how does a goalie get a team?!
I wasn't really able to find anything...but i'd like to join a team for the upcoming fall/winter season.
I know to contact some leagues, and see...but anyone here know any other avenues?
One of the leagues wanted me to pay a few hundred up front and I was like "nope. sorry. screw that"
Any help will be great! THANKS!

Best bet is to just sub and build up your contacts. I played sub for 2 years and just waited for my opportunities. I get like 2-3 teams asking me to play full time and i still sub for 4-5 more, so if 1 team disbands I still have options.

I don't even know how to get myself out there =(
I've subbed but few and far in between. That and I'm looking for practice time that happens in the evenings. RIC is the only stick/puck that allows goalies but their times don't mesh with a mon-fri 9-5er

I went to a lot of organized pick-up games and met another goalie who ran his own team. He got me to sub the first few years, we became friends and I play like 40% of his team's games now. From that, I basically got exposure to the league I was playing in, and eventually started getting calls to play more and more games until opportunities opened up for me to take full-time positions on teams.
Most well-run teams already have their own goalie, and probably their own set of 2-3 subs that they can call to, so just randomly calling out to teams looking to play full time probably isn't going to work too well. Get on sub lists, build connections, prove your worth with your play, get rewarded.

I used to be able to do 5 hours every monday...but now it's just all in game. It's hard to stay sharp.
I know very little ppl in the community....and have had little teaching.
I skate well enough. and I play well enough (used to play a lot of ball hockey). But I want more out of this

It actually doesn't hurt that much.
I think that means there's nerve damage. 
Srsly though, it looks like you made your first contact BPH.
NVasion's team would be a great start, whether you're a starter or a backup. Good luck man!

Tempted, but I think it is best for me to take a few weeks off and let my injuries heal.
D'oh.
Gonna be another long winter season ahead of me. Committed to 2 teams and who know, I might end up on 4 teams again like this past summer.

If anyone ever needs a goalie sub PM me. I can't join a team since my schedule is so fucked for work, but I'm decent. Played defense for 13 years at a high level and have played goalie in non high level situations my whole life.
