PHILOSOPHY: Goldman’s philosophy is centered around an egoless approach to scouting and evaluating goaltenders. Because The Goalie Guild is a vast library of constantly-updated information, it is important to understand why Goldman created this website in the image and likeness of a Medieval Guild. The infographic above will help explain how it works.

As you can see, Goldman’s guild is a layered haven that connects many different areas of scouting together in many different ways. Everything is concentrated in the middle with the mission statement, and then radiates outward into four realms – Members, Trackers, Services and Networks. Please read below for a quick spin of the Philosophy Wheel.

At The Goalie Guild’s core is the mission statement, which is to ADVANCE and ENHANCE your understanding of the goaltending position. With those ideals laying the foundation of the scouting services, it exists in order to EVALUATE goaltenders and EDUCATE the general public.

Goldman evaluates goaltenders through his growing library of free and premium SERVICES and features. Everything from Live Scouting to his NHL Depth Charts allow him to serve the hockey community with valuable information and evaluations on hundreds of goaltenders. By PUBLISHING his content in a creative and consistent manner for premium MEMBERS, he executes the mission statement on a daily basis.

Through the offering of different Membership Packages, Goldman builds a community that has both an exclusive and a public faction. These smaller communities within The Goalie Guild thrive and grow by INTERACTING with each other in order to further promote the mission statement. All of these communities build a NETWORK of friends, partners, fellow scouts and goalies. This improves and increases the flow of information through social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and the GoaliePost website.

But Goldman doesn’t stop there. He also works full-time to set TRACKERS in motion that consistently provide a stream of updated information on goalies, goaltending news and raw scouting notes. These trackers are another major part of The Goalie Guild, and they go a long way in ASSESSING all of the talent that you will find within our numerous SERVICES.

The Philosophy Wheel is complete and you are back at the beginning. You should now have a true understanding of what The Goalie Guild’s philosophy is all about, so enjoy the different areas and features inside the Guild!
