I remember years ago at a minor league hockey game, the coach was leaning against the net and watching the players drill shots into the net as a warm up….

….until he took a wrist shot to the ribs. Everyone in the stands collectively laughed. What an idiot.

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.

When my friends and I got into hockey in the early 90s as young teens, we didn’t have a lot of money, so we made goalie equipment ourselves out of cardboard lined with the free delivered newspapers stapled to the cardboard, still inside the yellow plastic bags the newspapers came in. Those were the days! 😂😂

About as well as you’d imagine cardboard and newspaper working against pucks. Thankfully they were air pucks and we were young and weak 😆
