*Goalie

Goalies are people who protect the goal. They are very important because how good they are a huge part of whether the other team(your opponent) gets a goal or not. The goalies on the Flyers team are… Ilya Bryzgalov and Steve Mason. Bryzgalov is more famous!!! Mason is the substitute.

*Fights:0

o In hockey fighting happens a lot

o the reasons are… some one checked a player on the other team, they were mad, or the person was playing unfairly and the refferee didn’t call it

I hope you learned something new!!!
