Crease Movement #1

Crease Movement #1

Goalie, Hockey Drills, Individual Skill Drills
Giving goalies a structured way to move around their crease is important for warming up and building muscle memory When doing this drill, make sure the goalie is performing his or her moves properly and getting in the proper stance. Don’t let your goalies try to do the drill too fast to maintain proper form. Make sure they are getting in the proper Post Knee Up and doing the proper Butterfly Slide. We are working on the following movements and positions: 1. T-Push 2. Reactionary Butterfly 3. Butterfly Slide 4. Stance 5. Post Knee Up Here's the diagram: Crease Movement #1 1. T-Push across, square up to puck 2. T-Push back to center, square up to coach 3. T-Push to post, either hug post or use post-knee-up position 4. T-Push…

The Tom Renney Warm-up has a little something for every position! This is a fantastic warm-up drill for more advanced teams. My old junior coach back in Toronto, Kevin Burkett, used to run this with us almost every practice. It's great because it is high speed, mimics many different game situations, and involves every player on the ice. Here's your diagram: Tom Renney Warm-Up Both sides go at the same time. After the dump in and breakout, both defensemen play 2 on 1 against the other line's forwards. 1. two forwards swing low and receive a pass from the coach, then step over the center line and dump it in. 2. goalie stops the puck for the defenseman, who initiates the breakout, then plays 2 on 1 against forwards from…

Post Awareness Drill

Goalie, Hockey Drills, Individual Skill Drills, Shooting
This is a great 3-sequence goalie drill that works on many different aspects of Post Awareness This post awareness drill offers lots of possibilities. If you want to progress past just taking shots on this drill, give the players the option to carry the puck across the net/zone before they shoot. Here are the goalie's objectives on this drill: 1. Post Awareness 2. Rebound Control and Recovery 3. Post Recovery 4. Post-knee-up position (Post Load) Here's the diagram and drill explanation: Post Awareness Drill 1. Goalie starts on the post 2.
