GA Spring Break Camp: Improving goalies quickly. First making butterfly saves, but not controlling rebounds. Then breaking it down with a butterfly, then making the stick save. Finally, putting it all together!

Terrible goal. Still the goaltending world coaches and justifies the RVH. The Golden Rule of Goaltending has NEVER changed and NEVER will, which is the goalie can NEVER make the first move.

04/12/2019

Adjusting and improving. First the goalie doesn’t trust positioning and reacts, which opens holes up high and in the five hole. He adjusts to trust his positioning, closing holes and staying big, filling the net.

A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Max Cichanowicz on his commitment to play at St. Lawrence University next year! Many have consistently worked hard at The Goalie Academy, but few have consistently worked harder than Max! Too many 6am sessions to count, synthetic ice training, Elite camps, tourneys, A, AA, & AAA teams, coaches, and school teams. Take a nice look back, celebrate, & then set new goals and work the way you have learned how!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Recovery to the feet Loudoun Ice Centre

Getting better on a Saturday evening #goaliedrills

Great job recovering to the feet versus sliding! Now the goalie can push on a deke. Shooters do not have to shoot which is why getting to the skate blades is vitally important.

Snow and ice does not stop players who really want to get better.

Goalie Soccer, a GA staple. Still a lot of fun, while working on skating agility!

Filling the net at Loudoun Ice Centre

DRIVE! Goalie Power Skating every weekend at Loudoun Ice Centre! As long as ice hockey is played on ice, you’ll have to be a great skater!

Great job holding the feet and reacting to the shot with proper timing as well as gaining depth.

Goalies’ idea! Making the drill just a bit more realistic by involving the goalie partner.

Improving at staying square during the T-Push!

Proper stance = not too wide

Much improved! Great to see!
