May 24, 2010 Allen named CHL's top goaltender..... more

May 2, 2010

Although we don't do this as a rule on our home page, I thought it was important that we share this with goalies & goalie parents...........

A couple of weeks ago, reading the sports section of the local newspaper, I saw where a younger goalie, we'd previously coached was being recognized for a very special accomplishment.  As it turns out, when I talked to his coach, his whole year was very special.  In fact he moved up 3 levels from the previous year to play at the top level in his age division.  An incredible feat any way you look at.  So, I though I would send off a note and congratulate him.  I didn't expect a reply and when I did receive one I was totally taken aback by what he said.  I quote from his reply exactly as it was written:

Dear John Alexander
Thank you for your e-mail and if it wasn't for you I would have never made it this far.  You taught me the basics of goaltending and without that you can't be a goalie.  I also learned that hard work pays off, but for me, it's not really work, it's hockey. DG

What more can you say?  The last sentence says it all.

Cheers

John A.
