Whatever the most unusual event you’ve ever witnessed on a hockey rink… it’s about to be moved down to 2nd most unusual. That is, unless you found your way inside Kraken Community Iceplex on July 13, for the “Oops! All Goalies” extravaganza, in which case you’re already familiar with the spectacle of a 5-on-5 game made up exclusively of netminders.
To find out more about this unique exhibition, we invited creator (and goalie) Kyle Sorenson to describe how it came to be. Our Kraken Reaction video chat includes hilarious highlights from the event, including goals, (pretend) fights, pile-ups, penalty shots, a surprising dose of athleticism, an intermission siesta you won’t believe, and even great saves, although they’re technically not allowed.
