Goldstein was born in Oslo, Norway, and is Jewish.[1][2][3][4] His mother's family, surname Schapow, immigrated to Norway from Lithuania in the early 1900s.[3][4] His father, Otto Goldstein, arrived in 1947 from Germany, a Holocaust survivor who survived and was liberated in World War II from Nazi Germany's concentration camps.[4][3] The family eventually moved to Ila, Trondheim.[4]
As an 18-year old Goldstein joined Manglerud Star Ishockey, and became the team's goalkeeper.[4] Goldstein played for the Norwegian national ice hockey team, and participated at the Winter Olympics in 1984.[5][6] He was awarded Gullpucken as best Norwegian ice hockey player in 1977.[7][4]
In 1983, the Norwegian director Oddvar Bull Tuhus made the movie Hockeyfeber (Hockey Fever), in which Goldstein has a central role.[4][8]
