Marcus Beesley, Goalie Coach

Working with demo goalie Adam Goody to show a simple recovery drill to the beginner group today at camp. Great to be back here working with so many friends and coaching awesome students.

Textbook blocker save by Harrison during today’s session, which focused heavily on breakaways and shootouts as well as some competitive games. Fun, productive session!

Always enjoy the audio on a good crisp rep. Mason does a great job locking into his RVH here, while being prepared to exit efficiently. Good effort on the rebound too, competing for the puck against one of our excellent shooters, Priya!

Great session today both on the ice and in the video room, focusing on post integration for sharp angle shots (RVH & Overlap primarily) with the “Veteran” group in Nanaimo. Tomorrow, we shift our focus to screens, deflections, and competing for pucks.

What a save by Lincoln!

A little hand-eye and agility before we hit the ice at today’s clinic. These orange mini basketballs are a game changer!

This clip shows calm, controlled movement and saves by Kael in a drill where he knows the location of the shot in advance. This is important for building skills and habits. Not every drill should require the goalie to react to a “random” shot just because that’s what happens in a real game. While working on these skills in a controlled environment, Kael is able to focus on improving his technique rather than just reading and reacting at full speed.
