Drill 4 : Quick play
Long aggressive pushes are an important aspect of goalie movements, but why? When you move around in you net with long passes side to side, it’s important for you to always have a proper position being on your toes and aggressive. For example, when positioned to the post and simulating a play in the corner with players skating around either near or far from the front of the net, it’s important for you to know what is happening. This being said you need to take the time to read the danger in front.
– Step 1: Start at your blocker post, imagine the opposite player in the corner who won the battle against you d-man and looking for options in front, make sure before he is ready to make the pass, you already took your information and saw were the danger was.
– Step 2: Visualize he is making a pass to the high slot, you then need to make a hard push (t-push or long shuffle) to be aggressive in front of the player and have a proper visual line with the puck (weight on your toes, shoulders aggressive towards the puck).
– Step 3: Imagine he is making a pass to the player in the middle who is getting ready for a quick release. You have to react with a quick shuffle and a butterfly down to make a chest save on the middle of your net.
Note: Take the time to position yourself properly before every movement. This will make you understand and control every push. When mastered, start adding speed to the drill while always keeping control.
