High School Hockey Goalie Sends Coach & Staff to Hell

Today's story was presented by many sources but I found it on this new site I've tried called Die Hard Sport. The video below is of a high school goalie showing his feelings towards the school's coach & staff:



Below is a twitter snap from @FollowThePuck on the situation, thanks to Die Hard Sport:

RUMOR: Senior goalie, on senior night, got the start, hadn't been starting, a sophomore had been, the senior showed how he felt about it.

We also have a retweet from @FollowThePuck from @RLMarkuson about the intent & motive:

@followthepuck it was planned, he said he wanted to quit the whole season. It was just a matter of how and when.

I don't really have a say in this one. The kid had a right to be displeased with his coaches & took it out in his own way. The only thing I've got to add really is that if he has a dream of going pro one day, he now has this incident on his resume & it'll be up to the scouts & GM's to want to deal with him or not on their club. Unless his talent level is through the rough (which it probably isn't since he was being benched & had a sophomore starting over him), this about the most hockey-related publicity he'll ever get.

51 yr.-old Goalie Signs with Minnesota Wild

An older story but amazing nonetheless: 51 yr.-old Paul Deutsch (yes, 51!) was signed by the Minnesota Wild on an "amateur try-out contract" to fill in on a goaltender vacancy as an emergency. Check out the video from NHL.com:



A lot of spunk from this guy. What a dream come true!
