Someone who is crazy and quick in order to save the puck, and the game. The most important player on the ice... and the most blamed player on the ice. Also, the most bad ass player on the ice. Only rivaled in sports by the lacrosse goalie.

One of the most crazy people on this earth.They willingly allow people to shoot pucks at them as hard as they can . They have to be fast and have quick reflexes.They are also pretty weird people. Hockey goalies probably have the toughest position for all the blame they get they have to be mentally strong too.
Guy 1: " Look at that guy he is crazy".
Guy 2 :" well he does take pucks to the head for a living he is a Hockey Goalie".

The weirdest player of the team. He doesn't pull as many ladies as the other players but he makes it up for tons of great friends. He tries to keep his teammates in line when they get a little spastic. He always tries to stay positive even when things go south and tries to keep his teammates heads up when they're sad. He's the most vital and loved player of the team.
Girl: so you play hockey?
Hockey Goalie: yep!
Girl: what position do you play?
Hockey Goalie: I'm a goalie!
Girl: oh... that explains alot.

one of the awesome 11 players playing field hockey. very brave and courageous for let those rock hard balls fly at her. and no it is not just about stopping the ball it is about breaking the other teams confidence level. Definatly one of the coolest players on the field but she also realizes that she could not do it without her team mates and at the end of the game the teammates should run to he so that she is part of it. She out of all the players deserves the most respect she has one of the hardest jobs. when the goalie closes her eyes she sees the ball go into goal when a field player closes their eyes they just see the ball go bye them to someone else.
you know a field hockey goalie is awesome just look at what they wear and tell me they are not tough

Probably one of the most important players on a field hockey team- you can't win without a good goalie.
Only the toughest and strongest girls can be good field hockey goalies. They are brave enough to let girls drive balls at over 90mph straight at them. Most people think that goalies are just one big wall of padding, but some pads have gaps in coverage that can result in extremely painful injuries if hit. Imagine getting hit with a ball going over 90mph, straight in your thigh or hip- that's what it's like to be a goalie. Balls often pop up, so goalies need to deal with shots to the arms, hips, and thighs.
Goalies have to be quick and agile, even in bulky pads. Not only is it a physical game for goalies, but it's mental, too. Goalies have to be able to bounce back quickly if (god forbid) a goal is scored on them. If an offender, middie or defender misses the ball, there's always a chance to reclaim possession. If a goalie misses a ball or misjudges her timing, then the other team scores. Offenders, mids, or defenders take heat for not winning the game, but the goalies take heat for loosing the game. Goalies have a hard job because if the defenders aren't doing what they're supposed to do, or are playing like crap, then the goalie has no hope, and will still be blamed for the loss.
Goalies are tough, courageous, determined, and extremely skilled players in one of the most aggressive sports out there. There's no one else like them.

Field Hockey Goalie: (gets slammed with a drive straight to her hip, and doesn't even break her stride as she clears the ball out of the circle)
