Interview With The Author: Sebastien Tremblay

I recently was able to sit down with goaltender guru Sebastien Tremblay and discuss goalies, goaltending and his new book . Buy it today at www.goaltenders.info or at Lulu.com , where it is also available in ebook form. How did you become such a big fan of goaltenders? It was a love at first sight situation. I fell in love with the equipment when I was very young and from that point on, I was never interested in any other positions than the goaltender.
