When I played soccer, about 50 years ago, I was tall for a goalkeeper at a tad over 6’ . Bob Cousy at 5’10" ( or less ) was my hero on the Celtics , as a kid.Do to better nutrition and health care, the world is growing taller. Hockey is no exception. However… height doesn’t automatically give the goalie an advantage. While he might seem to have the edge in appearing to block the net, agility and rapid reflexes are far more important.
