GOALIES…Train Like This Off The Ice
All training is not created equal. You can be a VERY strong goalie in the gym… doing gym things (and being strong is good), but if you aren’t also doing the things in the gym that will translate directly onto the ice for YOU as a hockey goalie, then you are missing out on untapped…
Beat The Pass | Become Quicker As An Ice Hockey Goalie
If you want to be one of those patient (some say boring) hockey goalies, you need speed, but it might not be the type of speed that you think of when you are doing your off-ice training. When I ask hockey goalies from all levels (even pro goalies) what they are doing for their speed…

How Hockey Goalies Train Their “Puck Tracking” Muscles
Braden Holtby and Connor Hellebuyck do it, so naturally I get a lot of questions about eye training for goalies.
