[cite web | url=http://www.smallsaves.com/ | title=Small Saves |accessdate=2008-09-03] It focuses on a youngice hockey goaltender named Small Saves and his adventures in a small, unnamed northern town. Small Saves is approximately nine years old and plays goaltender for a team of children in his age group, which in turn competes against other teams of children in his age group.Small Saves always wears his game jersey and his goaltending helmet, even when sleeping. When not in a game, though, he wears his helmet tipped back on his head. He wears the traditional goalie
jersey number , #1. Small Saves is very talented at his position but when he has a bad game, or loses a game, he does so in spectacular fashion. His devotedhockey mom is proud of Small Saves and he is friendly with his teammates and members of opposing teams alike. He is also very proud of his equipment, hosting parties at his home when a new piece of equipment arrives, but his equipment is always pictured as retro, leather-and-wood equipment, brown in color. He has no doubts about his future vocation: Hall of Fame professional goaltender.Small Saves can be read in hockey-related publications such as the printed version of Goalie's World magazine [cite journal
