Video Project

"> For this video project Matt Drew played as a hockey goalie while Duffy took different types of shots at him using a floor hockey ball.
In this video we used two different types of video to get the best shots and points of perspective to show the viewers what its like to play hockey from the eyes of the goalie.
While watching the video you can see Matt Drew watching Duffy go back and forth and taking shots at him. This gives the viewer a good look at how fast the ball is coming at a goalie and how quick the goalie must move in order to stop the ball from going into the net.
If you were to watch a real professional hockey game you would come to find out that the pros can hit a puck up to 100mph. Now we not be playing on the ice, but you can hit a floor hockey ball up to about 80mph. Now this is very quick, and makes the job as a goalie very difficult. This is why it is very important that no matter if your playing ice hockey or floor hockey you should wear some sort of equipment for protection.
After talking with Matt Drew for a while, he gave us some personal insight on his thoughts of being a goalie since he himself has been playing hockey ever since he was a kid. He told us, "Even though playing goalie is fun, that it is a hard position to play and that it take a lot of talent and dedication to be a professional hockey goalie."
