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.

That's the issue too...I've only been at it for a few months, and in the last 2, I've had almost zero practice time. 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
