Hey, question for you. At the start of each period, the goalie scuffs up the ice in the crease. Is that a sort of superstition, or is there a practical reason for it?
It's so you're sliding a predictable amount and it's uniform with no puddles etc....
Thanks. I figured it was either control slipperiness, or maybe to build up a little dam to maybe slow up the puck.
That isn't allowed, but I piled snow on the outside of the net by the posts. It made wrap around attempts a lot more difficult. 😁
