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 got pretty lucky but I was also persistent. 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.
