But dammit, it's hard to shoot while skating and defending yourself against errant bumps and checks.
I'll stick to goaltending, if you don't mind. |
Coming from playing out for many years, I'm starting to believe that playing out requires more coordination than playing in goal. Needing to think about positioning while skating and shooting and avoiding contact is a different beast compared to puck tracking and going down/up/sideways. One thing I miss when playing in goal is the ability to go to the bench after a long tiring shift lol
Don't get me wrong I love playing both positions, but each position offers so much gratification (scoring goals vs robbing them!) that there's no way I could give up one. You should keep trying it I promise you won't regret it
And had I been in net with you shooting, I assure you it's not that difficult
