Welcome to the Ultimate Goalie Showdown
Last summer, 8U goalie Valentino "Tino" Beckmann was living his dream—until a sudden illness landed him in the ICU. But the hockey community rallied. Former NHL goalie Eddie Läck heard Tino’s story and sent a personal video. When he learned Tino loved the New Jersey Devils, he got Jesper Bratt to send a message too. Then Eddie went further—he surprised Tino in person with a special gift, forging a lasting bond with Tino and his dad, Ryan. Soon after, Ryan joked he could beat Eddie in a shootout. Eddie challenged him: 5 shots for $500. That playful bet sparked The Ultimate Goalie Showdown.
