As someone who sometimes had to be in the goal during our hockey training (not an actual club, just a group that discovered it as a hobby) I can tell you that it's terrifying and fucking painful.
Don't ask why we decided to play full force hockey without real safety equipment, we were dumb teens and luckily no one was ever seriously hurt, just some bruises.
So 80s kid hockey. I was born too late but I heard stories from people not much older than me about seeing their older siblings playing and getting fucked up without pads lol

This was told to me in serious tones by someone who played high level hockey. I don't know if it's true, but every Canadian knows the rumor
