Carey Price

By Tangotiger, 03:05 PM

Canada breeds goalies, and here’s another one:

When Price began playing minor hockey at 10, the closest teams were 320 kilometres east in Williams Lake.  So he and his father Jerry drove the 640-kilometre round trip three times a week for practices and games.

I can’t imagine baseball, football, or basketball players having the dedication of hockey players (Price or otherwise), but perhaps, that’s just because they’ve never had the same obstacles.

Price turned aside 12 shots from the Americans in the 10-minute overtime today, while his Canadian teammates managed to get just two shots off.  Canada won the shootout, to advance to the finals.
