Buying a new lacrosse chest pad

It’s a common thing said about lacrosse goal keepers, they’re all a bit crazy. Who in their right mind would stand in front of a net while people throw rocks at them at around 150mph? It’s madness! It takes a certain breed of person to stand in the cage. They are a breed unto themselves.

Our club keeper told us he’s going to get a new lacrosse chest pad a while back. That sort of statement is just asking for trouble! One of the guys quipped “Why bother, the ball never hits you anyway!” Another “It’ll just get in the way when you get the ball out of the cage!” This went on for the rest of the session.
