Can someone with down syndrome be a hockey goalie?

If you need CANNON FODDER...LOL

Hell ****ing no!!

I used to mentor / coach special needs kids in soccer, and the best goalie in a league 

created for them was a kid with basically " duck feet " which bent outward almost like 

a hockey goalie doing the splits in butterfly. He was fearless, taking point blank shots 

from older kids twice his size, stopping most & controlling his rebounds even starting 

breakout plays at full speed! I do not know how it would transfer to hockey being tiny 

and underweight & not seeing him skate, ice or inline. But on an indoor soccer pitch 

amazed many including one of the other coaches, who had played briefly in the NFL. 

If they can play the position effectively and stop pucks, then yes.  

Why not? If that someone is determined and isn't scared of the puck. People with Downs Syndrome tend to be more determined and dedicated than the average person.

Could be one of the goal posts.
