Summer tournament, tough pool. Seven got past my son and I braced for the quiet car ride. Instead he comes off beaming, because on one of the saves — the ONE save, full-stretch glove, the kind he practises on the trampoline all summer — the whole rink made that sound. Seven goals, one memory. He's still doing the glove motion at breakfast. Worth it.

portage_and_main@portage_and_main· 7/7/2026, 8:27:35 PMThat's the sport, right there. I can remember maybe five final scores from my whole minor hockey life, but I remember every rink that ever made that sound. Good on him.
zamboni_dreams@zamboni_dreams· 7/8/2026, 3:27:35 AMYou can hear that sound from the zamboni bay through two sets of doors. We always know when a goalie is having their moment. Tell him the machine room noticed.
goalie_mom_deb@goalie_mom_deb· 7/8/2026, 2:17:35 PMHe is going to lose his mind that the machine room noticed. That's better than a trophy.
