When Montreal Canadiens star Carey Price opened the season in his new all-red True L12.2 goalie pads and gloves on Wednesday, it brought back questions about the positives and negatives of dark goalie equipment. It’s a conversation we’ve had with goalies and goalie coaches around the NHL over the years, including Price and his red gear, but now seemed like a good time to revisit those interviews and share some of the varying opinions.
Can ballet make you a better goalie? The reigning Mike Richter Award winner as top NCAA goalie thinks so. Bruins prospect @jswayman1 shares his insights after taking a class at University of Maine and there goalie coach @dreamcatchershky shares video of the barre sessions his goalies are doing this season as a result of that success.
