Maggie the two-year-old German shepherd has her own massive following on various social media, who are all blown away by her impressive hockey goalie skills.

Before you get excited – she doesn’t use a hockey stick or wear protective gear, however cute that would look.

One video has gone wildly viral, because it shows just how clever she is – and that it’s not just the instinct to swipe at things that makes her such a good goalie.

Watch and wonder.
