James DeMarco grew up in Watertown and became a goaltender at age 5. It’s his life’s passion to stand between the pipes and keep the puck out of the net.
Combining this with the love of cartooning Small Saves emerged in 1991 and took on a life of his own. “To play goal – then come home and draw Small Saves — is my ideal definition of a good day.”
A message from James DeMarco:
I am thrilled to say that the Small Saves Storybook video, The Forgotten Goalie, is here! Beautifully read by K. McAdams, Small Saves, the little youth hockey goalie, is fascinated and inspired by a photograph hanging in the hockey rink of a goaltender from long ago. Sad that the picture hangs unnoticed in the darkened corner of the rink, Small Saves sets forth to bring attention to the overlooked photo during the holiday season.
