Qualities of a good goalie

  Confidence   Desire to play goalie   Good athlete, competitor   Dedicated, willing to learn   Good work ethic and attitude   Courage   Sense of humor


What’s the Preferred Style?



  Goalies are difference makers

  All good teams have good goalies

  It’s about confidence and repetition

Why Are Goalies Left Behind?

  Coach did not play goalie

  Coach does not know anything about goaltending

  Coach thinks goalies get all the coaching they need at goalie clinics/schools


Change Your Approach

  Break out of your comfort level

  Get beyond the “I don’t care what they do as long as they stop the @#*… puck”

  No regrets, become a more well-rounded coach, able to develop and help all players on your team



  Assign someone to work with your goalies

  Schedule and write down time in each practice for goalie development (15-20 minutes)

  Give goalies a chance to be successful, control tempo of drills

  Focus should be on fundamental skills

  Takes more than just seeing shots to improve

  Goalies should practice with a purpose – treat every shot like it means something

  Goalie should be leaders, not followers

…And so, once again, Lemaire went back to teaching the basics during another long practice….


  RESPOND - to the puck

  REACT - to the shot

  READY - for the shot
