Sabre goalie Ryan Miller has been named to a newly formed goalie equipment working group. The NHL and the NHLPA teamed up with five players and four GMs working to examine goalie equipment with respect to safety and performance.
Miller, Martin Brodeur of the Devils, Rick DiPietro of the New York Islanders, Dany Heatley of the Senators, and Mike Cammalleri of the Kings will represent the NHLPA. The NHL representatives include Doug Risebrough of Minnesota, Garth Snow of the New York Islanders, Jim Rutherford of Carolina and Brett Hull of the Dallas Stars.
The group will meet on June 11 in Toronto to examine the configurations and dimensions of goalie equipment. If the team comes up with ideas to alter existing equipment rules and regulations without compromising safety, those recommendations will be forwarded to the competition committee for consideration.
