How hard is it to play goalie and wear glasses?
I used to play street hockey in grade school and played goal.
I haven't played in about 10 - 12 years and I'd like to play around again on a street hockey league.
I now wear glasses though. Do you have any experience with them fogging up under the goal mask --- either in hot or cold weather???
Is there any problem with them sliding down to give you a poor view of the puck???
Any other potential problems???
I just don't want to waste my time and others. Can you wear glasses and play goalie?
You can (I do - play goalie and wear glasses) but it's tough. In a street hockey league you should be ok as long as you clean the lenses before donning your helmet. I wear a do-rag by VSI (the un-appreciated ancestor of Under Armour) under my helmet and that makes a huge difference, especially as I play ice in Texas where it's been in the 80s even at midnight with 30 - 70% humidity the last few months. (usually between 90 and 110 during the day)
To those who are going to say "wear contacts!" that's easier said than done. I have tried them numerous times but they just won't fit in my eyes. I'm not sure if it's a stignatism (sp?) or what, probably more because there's a history of glaucoma on my Mom's side of the family.
Laser surgery? Sure thing. Who wants to sponsor me?
Until then, I play with my glasses on because otherwise my vision gets blurry and I get headaches faster than the puck travels.
