https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6O1G6rCba8 High-Low Shooting is a Fantastic Warm-up Drill for Any Age Group Here's another great hockey drill that I like to use particularly as a warm-up drill. It is quick-paced, and incorporates skating, stickhandling, and shooting in stride. It's also great for goalies as it gets them moving side-to-side. Players must keep their heads up as they explode through the middle of the ice in opposite directions. Stress that the players keep their feet moving throughout the entire drill. Here's the diagram and explanation: High-Low Shooting1. Players are divided into 4 corners with pucks.2. All 4 lines leave at the same time on the whistle.3. Short lines go to first set of cones.4.

The Post-Knee-Up save is a controversial but solid selection, when used correctly The Post knee up save is a controversial yet solid selection. It is controversial because most goalies do not always use it in the correct situations. This particular drill will work on the Post Knee up as well as work on teaching the goaltender to read and react and utilize the save in the correct situation. Here's the diagram: Post-Knee-Up Drill:SEQUENCE 1:1. Goalie starts square to Player 1.2. Player 1 passes low to Player 2, who attacks the net from the side3. Goalie uses Post-Knee-Up positioning4.

Shuffle T-Pass

Goalie, Half Ice Drills, Hockey Drills, Individual Skill Drills
The Shuffle T-Pass is a great drill to work on multiple parts of the goaltender's game. This drill works on positioning, proper rotation when moving around your crease, proper recovery from a butterfly, playing the puck, and crease awareness. Make sure your goalies don’t cheat in this drill. They should be squaring up to the puck, hugging posts, and get back to their proper post every time on the puck handling portion. Here are the diagrams: Shuffle T-Pass: Sequence 1 1. Shuffle from one side of the net to the other, stopping square to each puck, dropping to a reactionary butterfly at each puck 2. After arriving at the far post, come back the other way Note: Make sure to recover with the proper leg; right leg when going from…
