All meetings are open to anyone interested in helping with the committee, have concerns, questions, or ideas. Meetings are held the second Wednesday of every month.  Check calendar for location.  Meeting times are from 7:00 - 8:30pm.

It is the desire and purpose of the Forest Lake Hockey Goalie Committee to work as an intermediary for the FL Hockey board on issues related specifically to the development of Safety, Respect and Recognition of ALL goalies not dependant on age, gender, or skill level within the Forest Lake Hockey Organization. This will be accomplished through the following:
 

1. Develop and provide suggested “warm-up” protocol for all goalies and their coaches at all levels of play.
2. Provide goalie specific training both on and off the ice for goalies.
3. Provide training for goalie parents through off ice workshops as a way to better understand the training and psyche of your goalie.
4. Provide goalie specific training (Train the Trainer) opportunities for all coaches at all levels of play.
5. Defray costs when and where appropriate for equipment, registration fees, and training.
6. Ensure dialogue with head coaches and goalie coaches as a way to assist in the development of their goalies whenever possible.
7. To be a conduit for suggestions to the FL Hockey board where goalies are concerned.
8. To enhance the level of fun and confidence in our goalies whenever possible.
9. To work with the Forest Lake Hockey Board in the best interest of the goalie, goalie coaches and the interest in the Forest Lake Hockey organization.
10. To be an unbiased representative for Forest Lake goalies and their parents on any issue directly related to the above without fear of favoritism or recourse.

GOALTENDING IS NOT EASY, BUT YOU WILL NOT BE ALONE!

STAND YOUR GROUND

Respectfully,

The Forest Lake Goalie Committee

As stated on liftthemask.com - Goalies play one of the most physically and mentally demanding positions in sports. They face a lot of pressure as the last line of defense, and that can lead to a variety of personal challenges, on and off the ice. That is why Lift The Mask is dedicated to ensuring goalies have the access and support they need to get the proper help, no matter what they are dealing with.
