Everyone knows that goalies are a bit weird, they choose to stand in front of a net and subject themselves to having a frozen piece of rubber repeatedly hurdled at their faces, but the NWHL’s Mclevman take this goalie quirkiness to a whole other level.
The Buffalo trio, Amanda Leveille, Kelsy Neumann (who resigned her contract in full goalie gear) and Brianne McLaughlin have taken the NWHL (and the hockey world as a whole) by storm with their crazy antics. Not convinced yet? Here’s just a little taster of what they’ve been up to…
Oh, #McLevMan… Never stop dancing.

All of this has led others to be inspired by Mclevman to unleash their inner goalie, one thing is for sure, we haven’t seen the last of this crazy trio just yet…
