Thank you all for your patience. We seem to have ironed things out with our web hosts for the time being and things should be back up to speed – if not faster than before.

The two articles by AHL goalie Mike McKenna have been amongst our most popular – people love to hear it from an expert and to top it off Mike is a heckuva good writer. He has kindly offered to make his next article a response to reader questions.

So whether you want to follow up on the differences between the NHL and other pro leagues, or if you have a question about Mike’s gear, or if you have anything else related to goaltending fire the questions in an email, or add them to the comments below. We’ll get them to Mike right away and he’ll have another great piece for us before long.

We need to get these to Mike so he can get writing so send your questions today.

    Hi Mike! My question is what is most imporrtant thing to focus on for my 6yr old son who plays in goal for his Mite team, aside from having fun?

    What was it like to score a goal and then get a penalty for celebrating?

    Hi Mike,

    Quick question. Being in a very fast paced level of hockey, how do you keep your mental focus and “toughness” up so that you don’t let in weak goals? How do you recover from bad or weak goals?

    Thanks,

    Rick
