Another 'foreign/import' goalkeeper to have played from overseas in the Belgian leagues is none other than the great Kyle Pontifex. Pontifex went across to play in their national league in the midst of the London Olympic campaign build up for the chance to gain exposure to a different style of hockey and test himself against some of the world's best players (don't forget how good Tom Boon is!), whilst the demands of amateur hockey in his homeland putting stresses on career and personal life (yes, athletes have that 'thing' too!). Can't remember which team it is and will have to have a root around Youtube to find clips of him in action, but this link gives a little more playing info on the man himself...!
A blog for and about hockey goalkeepers and goalkeeping, trying to expand their coverage, given what a niche market it is! Was a little disappointed that there is nothing like this around so thought I'd have a bash at remedying that! Written with a slightly Gonzo journalistic approach. Thoughts and analysis of the elite. All opinions are my own; can't be bothered with anyone else's after all!
