Poor posture caused by years of carrying the team!😂

I found a spider crawling by my crease on the ice so I put him in the net. Said “I’m going to protect you my guy. Nothings going into happen in there.” Long story short, I did not. He died first period.

That's the goalie equivalent of sitting on the bench

Goalie for 10 years here ... they're "resting" for a bit 😊

[boystainey]

From the brief couple years I played goal….it’s just comfortable and took the tension out of my lower back when leaning on my pads lol. You’re lumbar area gets tired standing in thar crease in a slight forward lean lol, not to mention when you’re set up for a shot

[seanmckinley]

It takes pressure off our legs to we do it after we use our legs for awhile

[melnichol]

Its the good ol' contemplating why you play goalie position

[MC-]

Bugs. Lol, that’s the most goalie answer possible.

[admiralfloofz]

I do that cause its almost like sitting down. You can rest your elbows on your pads and the pads will keep you standing with legs relaxed

[mothmansk]

For guys that take it seriously it's because it's easier to breath when you are hunched over so I personally do it just to take like a deep breath because it is hard to make saves you have been breathing hunched over after a run or something and to clean our minds so we can completely target on making saves

[SirNoobingtonTheThird]

its true, i found Freddy the flea, bob the big boy bug and frank the fly

[RecdactedYT]

As a goalie I can confirm we all do that

[thisiconisactuallygoofysfa]

I do that and kneel on my left knee and use my stick as a rest. It’s just comfortable and gives us a break from standing. BECAUSE UNLIKE YOU, SKATERS. WE CANT SIT

[BracketOBracket]

For me that’s how I rest my upper body after diving around making saves because my teams defense is ass lmao 🤣

[WafflesVROfficial]

Man I saw a bug on the ground and let in 2 goals just to stay out of that mama way

[lilphilly]

Goalies are so weird I don't even know if he is joking.

[kosakukawajiri]

From what I gather, this pose is a resting pose for Goalies, helping to relieve stress on their back or is generally a relaxing stance. I can see why as Goalies are always active and must be vigilant.

[TylerBeazley-rc]

Great for resting your body. Also helps me get in my head and re collect myself. Helps me remember not to let past goals carry any pressure

[christinemcgrath]

you are my favorite goalie because as an 11 year old 12U full right AAA goalie your just so good and funny and I just wanted to say thank you for being my insperation. (:
