SHL GM Quebecer trying to make goalie TPE matter in Texas
PLAYER PROMPT
It all started when my father bring me to the ice for the first time. Didn't like it at first, but with more practice I got the hang of it and my progression was exponential. Like most of the goalies, I was a player first. I tried the goalie position, and I loved the reaction of the other players when they couldn't score against me. So I got better at it and yes I went to some hockey schools to learn some hockey technics, but also the mental aspects of the game. Playing the goalie position is hard on the mind because the team relies a lot on you so you have to be strong mentally and not everybody can do it. The programs also helped me played at a higher level than I was before training with them. The road was not easy at first, but with the hockey schools help, I catch up to those with the same age than me and was able to even get better. When I got drafted early in the best minor hockey league in Quebec, I knew I will be able to play in the SHL someday and that I will just have to practice in the SMJHL for four years before making the jump and it's finally happening this year! |
