Edges, balance & upper-body control. 🏒🥅

This figure-eight balance drill is fun, quick, and challenging! The focus is on maintaining a tight, athletic stance, keeping our shoulders level and square, and our hands up and out.

The key is controlling our edges and maintaining balance without using our upper body to create movement. Stay centered, stay controlled, and let the edges do the work.

Simple drill, but plenty of details to work on! 💪🔥

Coach Bird walking us through the details of our post sequence: proper post overlap, maintaining our angles, RVH deployment, post bump, and a strong seal.

Play it cool 😎 — don’t rush it! Stay patient, trust the movement, and remember that the details matter. 🥅🏒

Post Integration & Recovery

Quick feet, fast post integration, and explosive recovery. 💥😎

Working our angles hard with an emphasis on a quick RVH drop, strong post seal, and efficient recovery back to our stance.

The post push should be powerful but short—enough to get us off the post and back to our feet quickly. From our stance, we can read and assess the play, then use small, controlled adjustments to drift those extra few inches when time allows.

Fast feet. Strong post integration.
Efficient recoveries. 🥅🔥

Post-to-post and crease movements with a simulated pass. 🥅

The focus is on arriving on angle, staying set in our stance, and tracking the puck aggressively with our head. If we give up a rebound, we need to immediately find it, track it hard, and adjust our body first to keep the puck in front of us.

Simple movements, strong positioning, and eyes locked on the puck. 👀🏒

Another summer is officially in the books! 🏒🥅

I want to personally thank all of our goalies, shooters, and coaches who helped make this one of the best summers we’ve had!

The biggest reminder we can take with us into the season: Keep it simple. Relax. Have fun. When we’re having fun and enjoying the game, we do our best work.

Thank you all for an incredible summer! Now, let’s take everything we’ve worked on and bring it to the season! 💪🥅🏒

We started training together over 13 years ago, and from day one you've made an impact on every team you've been part of. Watching your growth, dedication, and work ethic has been an incredible privilege. It's been an honor to be a small part of your journey, and I couldn't be more excited to see where this next opportunity takes you.

Congratulations to the official Emergency Backup Goaltender (EBUG) for the Anaheim Ducks—Devon Bobak. Wishing you nothing but success as you continue to chase your dreams. Proud of you! 🦆🥅

No goal post? No problem.

When practicing your sliding RVH post seal, the side boards do a great job of simulating a goal post. The biggest challenge is getting your pad to flare just before your boot break reaches the post. In doing so, we promote a solid post seal. 😀

As your pad makes contact, absorb your momentum, get tall on the post, and seal it with confidence. The small details make all the difference when it comes to eliminating scoring chances. Leave no holes.

Coach Kacey and I recently had the opportunity to guest instruct alongside Kim Miur and her amazing staff for a goalie power skating session. It was an incredible experience!

For goaltenders, skating and edgework aren't optional—they're the foundation of everything we do. The more time you invest in developing your movement, balance, and edges, the more it shows in your game. The results speak for themselves. 🥅💪

Simplicity wins—especially when it comes to habits with our development.
Master the fundamentals. Work your edges with purpose, snap your head to the puck, and keep your hands in a shot-ready position. Consistent attention to the little details builds better habits, and better habits lead to better performance when it matters most.

Keep your shuffle recovery simple and efficient.
Lead with your head to find the target, keep your hands set and ready to lead the movement, then explode with a hard, quick push up and across to recover. Stay balanced, arrive under control, and finish in a strong, shot-ready stance.
The fundamentals done consistently make all the difference. 🥅💪
