I would like to start this edition of SSS by saying that I have had a few (5 percent) excellent responses to my "ice hockey goaltenders' challenge" from last week. Maybe one trait of goaltenders is procrastination or they are introverted and just don't want to put themselves out there! Ha.
To refresh your memory I challenged local goaltenders from the past and present, too, to respond to some questions I had posed regarding their history of goaltending. You can go to the April 30, The Berlin Sun to find the questions. I am extending the deadline to May 16, and you can send your responses to me at steenm6@aol.com.
