One secret habit pro goalies use is the power of training for compound strength. That means using multiple joints, multiple muscle groups and multiple planes of movement.
Habit #5 – Compound Strength
The best of the best pro level goalies have this element. They are training off the ice in a way that lets them use it on the ice. It’s how they use compound movements to train.
A compound movement is where you’re going to generate some force with a prime mover, but also use your stabilizers to translate that force.
I’ll walk you through how hockey goalies make the most of their off-ice workouts – how they build the strength goalies need on the ice.
- Lateral Hop to Lateral Raise – 8 each side (3 second stick)
- Pallof Press With Rotation – 12 each side
- RVH Recovery With Band
- Butterfly Recovery With Band – 6-8 each side
- Opening Step and Row – 8-12 each side

Happy training.
