For Goalies
Here’s all of the important information you’ll need to know when signing up as a MyPuck goalie.
How do I sign up as a rent a goalie?
Signing up is easy with us. Simply Select login / register on our page and enter in your information. You will then be signed in automatically and emailed simultaneously.
How old do I need to be as a rental goalie?
Goalies with MyPuck are required to be at least 19 years of age or older.
Does it cost anything to sign up as a rent a goalie?
No, it’s free to join our service.
How much money can I make per game?
Generally speaking you can expect to make at least $35 per skate. Sometimes you can make more money depending on the length of the game.
Does MyPuck make any money?
Yes, we take a cut of the action. That means teams are charged a service fee to book with us. We also charge a service fee to goalies ($1.50 per month for games played).
How many games can I expect to play?
It really all depends on you. We mainly have a first come first served process when filling games. We don’t call goalies directly (it’s just too time-consuming). We send out game notices, if you want it then request to play and the team will confirm your attendance.
How will I know if I’m confirmed for a game?
Our app automatically sends you email notifications directly to the email address you have signed up with. You will receive an email from us when you are confirmed. You will also receive app notifications updating you with the same info.
Can I give a team my contact info?
Sorry, but no that’s against our policy. This ensures goalies are only required to show up and play rather than handle any customer service requirements. Leave that part to us!
How do I use the App for games?
If you’re interested in playing a game you have to first opt into the game via the app. If you’re selected you’ll be notified through the app and email of the game.
Can I opt out of a game?
Though we discourage opting out of a game once you’re approved for it you can do that be cancelling your participation. It is YOUR duty to remove yourself, please don’t call us to say you don’t want to play anymore. By removing yourself the team is automatically notified and can pick a new goalie.
When can I opt out of a game?
When the game is less than 2 hours away we recommend you continue with your scheduled game. Please note it is your requirement to ensure you get to the game on time (a minimum of 15 minutes prior to the posted game time).
How do I get to a game?
This is up to you. We definitely encourage you to have access to a car to get to games rather than relying on public transport or hoping for someone to pick you up.
What about bad weather?
It’s Canada so bad snowstorms do happen. We stay in constant communication with teams and should a game be cancelled due to weather we will update you ASAP.
When do I get paid and how?
Goalies are paid for all games played over the course of a month within the first 3-4 days of the following month. This allows us time to review and confirm all games have been played as well as sending out payments. Payments are sent to the email address we have on file for you.
When do I need to be at a game?
Goalies are required to be at the arena AND checked in with the team at least 15 minutes prior to the posted game time. Failure to do so could result in the team picking up another goalie and you losing out on playing (goalies will not be paid if this happens). If you are running late it is your requirement to call us and let us know of your timing so we can inform the team and keep your spot.
