Bobby Goepfert

@WooItsDrew Thank you for the kind words Drew! ...and also making me feel old.

Used to watch Bobby as a kid, then had class with him in college. Great guy and glad to see him moving up!

@ColbyCohen36 @QMJHL Par for the course. Leaving Scantlebury off the U17 Challenge to punish him for his decision coming to the USHL as well as intimidate future players that may be exploring a different path. Sad they use these tactics, but very revealing in their character.

What a bad look for the @QMJHL. A board member of a CHL team, a guy who played in the National Hockey League openly calling to make a teenagers life harder and to make an example of him for wanting to go to the USHL. I’ve called for these leagues and levels to all work together, but how can you work with people this stupid and arrogant?

@WooItsDrew Congrats man!

This offseason has been a fun one. There have been two new Steele's added to the active roster. Sarah and I got married in June, and we adopted a dog, Pearl, in July. Both got lifetime contracts.

@DeMike3316 😂😂😂

@kluedeke29 @USArmy Love it! You're the best Kirk! Thank you for your service!

Happy 250th Birthday to the @USArmy …1 year older than our nation. It was an honor to serve for 24 of the 250… Being on tanks, jumping out of airplanes, knowing tremendous people & teams…forever grateful. 🇺🇸

Amazing weekend spent with our 2009 players and families! Absolute blast!

@USHL @Spud_Hockey @FargoForce @MSHSL @RidertownUSA @MadCapsHockey You forgot @ChicagoSteel affiliate Drew Simonich!

Congratulations to #USHL affiliates Mason Kraft, Tyden Bergeson, Brooks Cullen, Max Cullen, and Zac Zimmerman on winning the Class AA championship with @Spud_Hockey! Also congrats to East Grand Forks on taking the Class A crown. #TheTourney2025

@CenterIceView @SCSUHuskies_MH @ChicagoSteel lol trust me I feel old! Especially when I am scouting the sons of former teammates and players I played against!

For those that aren't as old as me (sorry, Bobby), @BobbyGoepfert was a helluva goalie (and quite the character) at @SCSUHuskies_MH (2005-2007). A fascinating insight into the assistant GM of the @ChicagoSteel

Back on the big screen

@HockeyThinkTank Gross. Youth hockey and subsequent "Elite", "AAA" bullshit at a young age has become a predatory business model that preys on the FOMO of parents that (I hope) are well intentioned for their kids to chase their dream. But let them play baseball. Play soccer. Let them be a kid.

Haha I just had a conversation tonight with a buddy coaching D1. He has an 8 year old that’s a pretty good little player. He’s getting calls from “elite” programs left and right, early Brick stuff, etc… His response to them? Nah, we’re good. He’s already seeing the stress it’s causing other kids and parents that are either going that route or thinking about it. He just wants his kid to have fun, play hockey with his friends, and knows his son will pass the kids choosing to go that “elite” route in a few years because his kid will love the game and those kids and families will likely start to get burned out. It’s so bizarre that the research, the data, and the top development people in our game keep pointing us to more community, fun, passion building, multiple sports, etc… Yet our sport keeps going in the complete opposite direction. More elitism, more specialization, more professionalization at younger and younger ages. It’s absolutely backwards. For all the parents out there that are struggling with the BS that this time of year brings in youth hockey, with everyone jockeying for positioning for next year even though this year isn’t even close to over… Just thought this might be some perspective that might help.

@GOHUSKIESWOOOOO Instant. And his translator. epic 😂

@BobbyGoepfert Isn’t this dude an instant legend?

"Hey, goalie, great save" 🥹

@HockeyThinkTank Same shootout move since Junior...

Still got it 😀. How cool to do this right in front of my daughters and to hear how pumped they were for Daddy.

@kallesson18 Congrats Kalle! Well deserved!

@Buccigross Epic Tweet.

Why are hockey players selfless? Because the best families are selfless. Many of these players had a parent who woke up at 6 a.m., tied stiff skates with numb hands and drove for hours and hours to hang out at a cold rink. Mom and Dad were all in. And they loved it. And their kids saw that they loved it, which meant, naturally, that their parents loved them. And when someone is convinced they are loved, they can move icebergs.

@GOHUSKIESWOOOOO @HummusLoser

Bobby Goepfert, Ben Hanowski, Nic Dowd, Garrett Raboin

@GOHUSKIESWOOOOO lol 100% true. How do you know that?! 😂I played all roles in that Final project. Bibliographies and source citing was never a strong suit of mine, so didn't want to risk it. I do not have the video but if you find it, you'd need a VCR.

@BobbyGoepfert Bobby is true you role played as an old Italian lady during a Medieval History final project? And do you still have the video

Hartigan Lasch JEFF FINGER Brimsek

@GOHUSKIESWOOOOO lol unfortunately it's very true. I was over Kronicks and he was talking with him on AIM as they were good friends and we set it up after some trash talking back and forth.

@BobbyGoepfert Even if it’s not true, I’m telling everyone it is

Hey @BobbyGoepfert - was there a time at the hockey center during a scuffle you and another goalie (gopher?) played full-rink length catch? Or am I dreaming that These goalies needed to do something.
