As posted earlier, I have made the decision earlier this year to suit up and play in goal again. It's a long, planned road of proper conditioning, extensive reinforcements and modifications of my hockey equipment.
I wouldn't recommend being a goalie to any of my fellow LVADers, but I have been playing in between the pipes my entire life. It was in 2009 with my first LVAD implant that I was told I could NOT play again. What I would like to project is to any LVADer is keep your focus on your dreams, lost dreams and or trade-offs that life has set forth in your lives.
Keep on keeping on! Or in my case 😄... "Keep On Goalkeeping On!"
