It’s no secret that hockey goalies need to be tough. From crouching on the ice for three periods of play to being willing to take a puck to any given part of their body (with padding, of course, but still), there’s a lot of tenacity when it comes to defending the hockey goal. But what […]
Watching football has become the ubiquitous American pastime.
