Women’s hockey goaltender Kelsey Neumann wears pads to brother’s wedding rehearsal

“Who needs a dress when you have leg pads?”

Buffalo Beauts goaltender Kelsey Neumann has a real dedication to her craft. Even though the offseason for the NWHL is still in full swing, the goaltender for the defending Isobel Cup champions is taking her job with her wherever she goes. Even to her brother’s wedding rehearsal.

On Thursday morning, Neumann posted a video of her practicing for her brother’s upcoming wedding dressed in full goaltender gear, much to the internet’s delight:

This isn’t the first time Neumann has worn goaltending gear outside of the hockey rink. When Neumann signed her new contract with the Beauts back in June, she did so in her equipment, with a pen taped to a miniature goaltender stick.

The tradition dates back to last season when Neumann and fellow goaltenders Amanda Leveille and Brianne McLaughlin teamed up to post some hilarious videos of the trio, affectionately nicknamed “McLevMan,” in their goaltender gear in places outside of the rink. Neumann’s Twitter account is full of pictures documenting her journeys in her goaltending equipment with her teammates.

Incredibly though, a wedding rehearsal may be one of the strangest places to wear goaltending equipment. And we are sure Neumann will find bigger and better places to show them off in the future.
