GOALIE COMPETITION
RULES
The Sense Arena 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs Goalie Competition starts on April 15th, 2026, at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time (“ET”) and ends on April 26th, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET. Users should access the menu in the 2026 NHL Sense Arena Meta Quest app to enter the competition and choose the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs Goalie Competition. The “Goalie” competition will consist of ten (10) drills and is open to all current Sense Arena users who wish to participate, regardless of their license or Meta Quest headset (2, 3, or 3s).
Drill difficulty will be set according to the age category the user logs in with, and all drill results will be displayed on a single summary page once completed.
For Goalies, each user’s final score will be based on the total number of saves they make. In the event of a tie, the highest Reaction Time Average among the tied users will be used as the tiebreaker.
Participants may replay the competition as often as they wish to achieve the highest score possible. If a user replays the competition and obtains a lower score than their previous high score, the last high score will still be retained.
