Ok, so there aren't really any current goalkeepers from abroad playing in the EHL, but there is a bit of history of them doing so and it does go to show that we have a strong domestic national league for goalkeepers to develop in. World class (one of the world's best) Amy Tran played at Canterbury (I think, please correct me if wrong!) a while ago. And Tom Sheridan (US international) played at Surbiton. Plus Jason Wellings was at Belper.
Think there was a German goalkeeper around some years back and Lorenz Neff came over to join HWHC around 2010. Hamish Coates has played at Wimbledon and now HWHC. And not forgetting former South African Olympian Chris Hibbert he moved over to play for Southgate or fellow compatriot David Staniforth, who I think was at Fareham for a bit.
Personally, I'd like to see Antoni Kindler play overseas, even if it's not in the EHL. He's young, still got time to get even better (before he peaks! He's great, could get even better is the way I see it and be among the world's elite!) and couldn't be a bad thing; life experience helping maturity as an athlete yadda yadda!
