What To Work On In This Drill:
The focus for this drill should be on the goalie skating around each individual puck. If the pucks are placed to far apart, feel free to move them to a tighter pattern.
With any drill, the most important part is getting the details right. While the pucks are placed in a square, the focus of this drill is not the T-Push across the center. We’re working on quick, compact feet, good stick positioning in the five hole, and explosive pushes with our skate edges while in the butterfly position.
