Heads up. I’m going super niche today. If you’re not into hockey, goalies specifically, this post will be of little interest to you.
…Still here?
Alright.That means we can talk about the good stuff. Butterfly slides, VH, reverse VH, single-T vs. double-T gloves…
…Aaand there goes everyone else but the goalies.
So, you’ve probably seen these bungee cords that people are replacing their toe ties with. I started using them this season, and man alive, what a difference! Monster Hockey has gone off the deep end with replacing everything they can with the stuff. And they have all kinds of products you can use to tweak your pads. Professor straps, lacing systems, knee blocks, etc. All great stuff. They’ve earned my business, and today’s headlines.

Overall: Pretty solid. I think they do a good job talking to the right audience and use the proper lingo. There’s not a lot of text on their homepage, so I’m not sure how many of these could actually be used, but maybe in social.
Lessons: It was was cool to dive into jargon I knew would resonate. This is such a specific niche that you need to talk like they (I) talk.
- Hardly touched the templates, except to keep the flow going.
- I’m not a traditional butterfly goalie, so I had to fake it a little. But I do have sore knees and hips after games so it was an actual pain I could speak to.
- There’s a mixed audience of young & old and I’m not sure which is their core demographic. Further editing could be done if I had that info.
- I realize very few people are going to read this one and I’m completely OK with that. Sometimes ya gotta write for yourself
Time: 2 sessions: 55 minutes.
