Welcome to InGoal.
We’re very glad you’re here. We love to talk goaltending and can’t wait to see what you’ve got to say about the world of goaltending we write about each month. We hope that you’ll get others engaged in a thoughtful and enjoyable discussion about the articles we publish. We’ll try to hop in and respond as much as we can as well.
It’s important to us that InGoal remains a positive community for goaltenders of all ages, coaches and fans of the greatest position on ice. In order to facilitate this we have compiled a few guidelines to help.
We reserve the right to close comments on any article at any time.
Commenting on InGoal is a benefit of membership — you must be logged in to your InGoal account to post a comment. Before you add your contribution, please take a moment to look over the helpful guidelines below.
How to comment at InGoal
We welcome thoughtful and civilized discussion. The InGoal editorial team reserves the right to edit or delete comments as we see fit, without explanation.
Here’s what your comment should look like:
- Use your real first name and email address in the comment form
- Add smart, relevant ideas that expand on an article’s premise — please read the article before you comment
- Drop funny references or jokes that carry the conversation forward
- Offer useful, constructive (not stupid or ugly) criticism
- Any combination of the above
Certain comments may not be posted or may be deleted after they are posted.
Here are some examples (not comprehensive, but you’ll get the idea) of types of comments that’ll ensure your failure to communicate, at least at InGoal:
- You don’t use your real first name or email address
- There are keywords and/or your business name in the name field of the comment form
- Comments that demonstrate you didn’t read, watch, or listen to the content
- Comments that simply restate or repeat information from the article and don’t carry the conversation forward
- Off-topic personal or professional rants
- Threats to us or other visitors
- Profanity – please keep it clean so the youngest goalies in the game and their families feel as comfortable reading this as you do.
- Any form of defamation
- Racist or obscene nastiness
- Violation of anyone’s copyright, trademark, etc.
- Promotions about and/or links back to your product, service, or latest venture
- Don’t contribute spam
If you’d like your comment to appear on InGoal, be respectful of our community and think before you post.
