Find a Hockey Goalie in Detroit
When a Metro Detroit team needs a goalie, EmptyNet helps the manager post the specific rink, start time, skill level, and paid or volunteer details a local goalie needs.
Need a goalie?
Keep the game
on the ice.
Detroit-area games draw from a broad suburban rink network. Naming the actual rink makes it easier for a goalie to judge the trip, start time, and skill level before accepting.
How it works locally
Post the game.
Fill the crease.
Post the rink, not only “Detroit.” Metro travel and rink preferences matter when a goalie is deciding whether to accept.
Read the goalie guidePost the details

Reach matching goalies
Goalies can be notified when the game matches the rink, level, and availability preferences they selected.
