While the center may get all the glory,
the goalie is one of the most important
players on any hockey team.
Every defenceman is taught to
‘protect the goalie.’
However much he is protected,
at the end of the game
the goalie is usually covered in bruises.
He plays the entire game.
He places his body in front of the puck.
Mike Zaya, chief executive of Printrunner,
says entrepreneurs are the goalies
of start ups
“You end up being the goalie of the company,
and the goalie has to sacrifice their body.”
“You have to be the first man in
and last man out on any given day.”
There are benefits to being an entrepreneur
but there are costs also.
