If you’re an adult in Ottawa who wants to learn how to play goalie — or return to the crease after years away — you’ve probably discovered one major issue:
There are not a lot of beginner-friendly goalie programs for adults.
That’s why the Ottawa West Beginner Hockey League (OWBH) has created a goalie-friendly community where:
Goalies play FREE
Adult goalies can train, learn, and improve
New goalies get real guidance
Returning goalies gain confidence
Goalies get consistent reps and game time
Let’s break down how it works.
⭐ Why Adults Choose Goalie Later in Life
Most adult goalies start late because:
They want a challenge
They want to contribute to their team
They love the pressure
They enjoy the equipment
They want to try something different
But learning goalie as an adult takes support — and OWBH actually provides it.
