COACHING GOALTENDING TODAY
• “Down” is the default position. Particularly when the puck is deep
in the zone. (See “the VH” or “Reverse VH.”) Goalies are not
comfortable making saves while standing up.
• Goalies “slide and block” at the expense of “making saves.”
• Playing deeper in the net is preferred. Larger equipment makes
this possible; cuts distance to post after initial shot.
“How is goalie play different today?”

COACHING GOALTENDING TODAY
• It is still about being in proper position.
• It is still about controlling the puck.
• It is still about knowing where the trouble lurks.
• It is still about where and when the play will come to an end.
• It is still about developing a sense of timing.
“How is goalie play the same?”

COACHING GOALTENDING TODAYCoach: Avoid These Practice Habits
• Pace of drills does not allow goalie to do entire drill
• Drills all coming STRAIGHT AT goalies (full sheet)
• Few screens or rebounds
• Goalie knows who will shoot and from where and when
• “Guilt and Volume” Method
• Drills with many pucks, each for a second
• Goalie battling confidence and practice consists of
• 1 on 0, 2 on 0, 3 on 0, and Breakout/5 on 0!
• Rarely in actual crease…no pegs…no suitable warm-up
• Practice activities for goalies do not resemble game
action; more specifically, practices do not allow for
problem-specific work to be done.
