text: why doesn't the fattest man in the world become a hockey goalie?   i've always thought about that as well.  folks always say that he he would not be mobile enough.    but 4'x6' is not that large an area to cover and there are some bigger guys with good mobility.  but even the biggest man (website below) would not cover the 6' side-to-side allowing nhl players to pick apart the corners.
