21. Philosophy PhilosophyJunior Hurricanes Work Ethic & DisciplineGoalies no different, but add Habit & DetailMust come to practice with right mindset: pay attention to details and create good habitsWhen we first started program back in 2006 era all fundamentals, led to great technical goalies but slow and lazy. Now? Hard working, fundamentally sound, compete to be best in the countryWe are trying to create a culture - Habit and Detail. Hardest worker. Outwork your opponent. Outwork your partner. Be a fighter. This is war. You want to win? Go earn it!
32. Deal with the psycheHow to Handle Your Goalies:As a coach, you spend most time with your goalies - More than Goalie Instructor who can train them once a week. Ask yourself: what do you want in a goalie? What kind of psyche? As a player, when you look behind you, what do you want to see?
42. Deal with the psyche (continued)
52. Deal with the psyche (continued)
62. Deal with the psyche (continued)Ask yourself: what do you want in a goalie? What kind of psyche? ToughCompetitive/FighterAggressiveKid who wants the ballThen talk to them using these terms, structure your drills and challenge them to behave this way. Design drills to be competitive, count goals in practice, hold them accountable.
73. Communicate Set your expectations up frontFor me: I want you to be the hardest worker on the team, in best shape. I will give you best development for this push you in drills, challenge you to work hardest, you need to respond. You need to earn your ice time. Play each puck in practice like you would in a game!Treat them like you would for every other player.Do NOT be afraid to tell your Gs that they need to work harder! Dont be scared to get into their heads! Part of our job is to help them learn to deal with coaches, teachers and bosses who demand excellence.
84. Designate someone to work with goalies Designate a coach to be responsible for goaliesSomeone who can have goalies as a focusHe/she can work with Rich or Steve for drills and points of emphasis each monthThis person can:Demand their best on each shotHold them accountable in each drill (count goals if necessary)Give them exercises before practice, once hit ice and everyone is skating around (warm up before hit the ice!), breaks in drills, after final whistle drills!Speak to them using terms to create the culture (see #1 above).
Just like you might work on 1 on 1s in a particular month, or systems, or breakouts, Goalies will work on different fundamental skills.95. Design Your drillsDesign Your Drills, then think what will my goalies be doing? What are you trying to accomplish? If you want them in shape do conditioning drills in downtime; if want them to handle puck start it with G making breakout pass. If struggling with rebounds, incorporate a rebound aspect. If you want second effort, have G coach count goals!#1 aspect: Give your goalie enough time to finish each play:SetSaveRebound/Cover PuckRecover
Just like you might work on 1 on 1s in a particular month, or systems, or breakouts, Goalies will work on different fundamental skills.105. Design Your drills (continued)Biggest problem coaches want goalies to work harder so they design drills up tempo where players are shooting, shooting, shooting. All you are doing is creating bad habits. Goalie never finishes the play, but then in a game he wont finish the play, will not be ready for rebounds.Remember CREATE GOOD HABITS!Get setSaveRebound / Cover PuckRecoverGo over practice with your G coach so he/she can find time to work the keepers. Explain how I design my practice as head coach.
Just like you might work on 1 on 1s in a particular month, or systems, or breakouts, Goalies will work on different fundamental skills.116. DrillsDifferent kinds of drills:Movement without pucksMovement with pucksPuck stoppingConditioningSimple ones: shuffles, t-pushes, butterflies, sliding butterflies. Can be as simple as shuffle across ice boards to boards. Can create patterns, like a V, or a X, around crease. 20 butterflies GO GO GO! Can be elaborate: 5 pucks each one has a shooter, call our numbers. Start standing, from knees, from belly
Our program focuses on skating and puckhandling. We want the goalies to be able to skate like a player and handle the puck like a defenseman. It takes years. We have been doing this for years, with great results. This summer, finally hearing from USA Hockey that at the National Level they are making a big point of emphasis of having goalies that are mobile and can handle the puck like a 3rd defenseman. We have been doing this for years.126. Drills (continued)Progression:Early in season: Skating / Balance / EdgeworkPuckhandlingBasic movementMove into:Saves / Rebound Control (work on shifting into pucks)Angles / Depth ManagementRead and ReactLater:Game managementReading situationsUnorthodox / Desperation savesReinforce fundamentalsWe have it broken down from month to month
136. Drills (continued)Examples:ShufflesT-pushesBoxInverted VXZSliding butterflies 2 Butterfly DrillShifting into pucksSimply having coach shoot pucks track them
See videos.146. Drills (continued)Example: Inverted V
See videos. Inverted V. Simple movements, repeated daily, building good mechanics. Here our college and junior goalies show us some simple drills.156. Drills (continued)Example: 2 Butterfly Drill
A movement and butterfly drill. She has done this drill for 4 years and now it is effortless.166. Drills (continued)Very important example: Shifting into pucks
Very important, if they could do this drill or something similar daily/weekly, that would be best.177. SupportWe have created a top notch program that now has 2 goalies playing D1, another with a scholarship and another fielding offers. The program works. We have created a culture, we create exceptional fundamentals, and we need the coaches to voice it.Parents go to coaches and maybe dont see enough flash and pizzazz, you need to let them know we have a program, we have an order of progression, and the kids will improve in many different ways, not just style or technique.We are battling competition and the problem is the habits. We get the kids back and they have bad habits that are hard to break. They wont move on to national levels if they dont fix them.We want to meet with you and/or someone who will work with Gs early in season to join you on ice and create routines. Please work with us to set this up.
Explain the story about kid crying and mom taking him elsewhere where is he now?Habits tried to break: lazy, not focused, not paying attention to details, led to mental errors.188. SummaryDesignate someone to be in charge of the goalies, get the contact info to us we will come get them set up for the season.Create Good Habits! Hold the goalies accountable. Give the Gs time so that on each save in practice they must:Get setMake the savePlay the reboundRecoverRemember you will go as far as your goaltending takes you! Put the time in when you design your drills.
We work hard to prepare, stay on top of goaltending knowledge, have strong network, and have had success. We need you to help us continue this tradition.199.
