Goalies:  The long

Ben Bishop, artandhockeyphoto



Valiquette, Life photo



Ben Bishop (Denver) at 6'7 and 210 currently holds the record. When he is down in his butterfly, his shoulders are parallel with the cross bar, he could literally play the game on his knees.And we have seen what he CAN do.

 

 

Steve Valiquette , 6'6, 220 currently with Moskow is next in line-see photo right

 

Worters

 

 

The short:

 

Roy Worters (Shrimp) at 5'3, 135 pds

(he must have been strong, although goalie gear was not as bulky then)

played 1925-37 for Pittsburgh, New York and Montreal.

 

 

ENJOY and have a chuckle on me!
