Episode 11 – The Beer League Goalie Manifesto

Fall hockey is back, and so is the chaos of beer league. The sticks are taped, the skates are sharp (for about ten minutes), and the cooler in the locker room is waiting like it’s the Stanley Cup.

This episode is a survival guide from the crease — straight from your goalie. The weird one. The one who talks to his posts and willingly straps on fifty pounds of gear just to get lit up by slapshots for fun.

We’re talking about the language that actually helps your goalie survive (spoiler: yell at us like we’re dogs), the defensive basics that matter more than any system, why forwards need to stop floating and backcheck, and the unspoken code of beer league that keeps the game fun. There’s chirps, there’s self-deprecation, and yeah… there’s some swearing. Hockey’s a rough game, and the language can be too — so cover your ears if you need to.

At the end, I give a special shoutout to the fellas from Beer League Dad Life and to Nick from BLPA — go give them a follow and show some love for the beer league community.

We close this one with a track that says it all — Beer League Forever. You can stream it here: Beer League Forever on Spotify.

Still here. Still trying. Still stopping pucks.
