Today we bring you an episode from our friends at the Apostrophe Podcast Network – one of the most-loved shows from the podcast ‘We Regret to Inform You.’If you’re new to the pod, it’s a series that tells the inspiring stories of actors, athletes and even astronauts, who overcame major rejection on their journeys to the stars. This episode, however, is a little different. It's about an object. Specifically, the goalie mask.Before goalie masks were widely accepted, one hall of fame goalie endured over 400 stitches to the head and neck over the course of his career. Some of the early objections to goalie masks included:“Masks make goalies complacent.”“Masks eliminate fear in goalies – the fear that drives them to play well.”“A real man wouldn’t hide his face from his opponents.” We hope you enjoy "Rejecting the Goalie Mask." Ad-free listening is here!
