Poke Check + Puck Stopping Drill for Goalies [VIDEO]

I LOVE drills that accomplish two things. 1- involve both goalies. 2- active recovery drills. For the bystander, this drill looks basic. It’s just a couple youth goalies working on skating, poke checking, and stopping the puck. In reality, this is a drill that makes sense for a lot of goalies at just about every level. Do this right after a challenging drill for your older goalies as an active rest or as a regular drill for your younger goalies. It’ll keep them engaged and add tools to the toolbox. And that, my friends, is what it’s all about.

?: @anton_shustov — I like this drill as a poke check drill. Saves time from picking up a million picks at practice when ice time is limited and the second goalie gets an active rest. I’m definitely making my goalies do diving pole checks for added effect, though.
