How the Team Canada Goalie Decision will be Solved

In case you missed it, in late August, the Canadian men's hockey team met in Calgary to begin training for next year's Olympics in Sochi.

Unfortunately, because of the high cost of insurance, they had to stay off the ice; so the entire training session was played out via ball hockey.

As any seasoned ball hockey goalie will tell you, it's a different game once you take the skates off.

Tonight I was the Jack Morris of ball hockey goalies. Allowing 7 goals late but winning 10-8 isn't blowing a lead; it's saving to the score

You don't have the lateral speed you have on ice,  and although you're more stable (especially when there's heavy traffic in front of the net) smaller moves and adjustments are near impossible to complete.

Also, you sweat like a motherf**ker.

So thinking about that got me wondering about how the potential Team Canada goalies fared in Calgary.

There were a handful of goalies earmarked to compete for a spot on the team: Roberto Luongo, Corey Crawford, Braden Holtby, Carey Price, Mike Smith...

But maybe there were a couple more people there? And maybe it played out (like so much does these days) on Roberto Luongo's cellphone?
