GOALTENDING IS ALL ABOUT DECISION MAKING. ๐ง ๐ช
Knowing when to stay on your feet, when to release into RVH, and when to recover back to your feet can be the difference between controlling the play and reacting to it. ๐ฅ
๐ฅ
๐ฆถ STAY ON YOUR FEET
โข Puck is in the far corner
โข Player isnโt a threat to wrap the puck or attack the net
โข Staying up maximizes your speed, size, and ability to move into the next shot
๐ป RELEASE INTO RVH
โข Player becomes an immediate scoring threat
โข Shot
โข Wrap-around
โข In-tight pass
โข Any situation where the puck can quickly attack the net
The goal isnโt to get into RVH as fast as possible โ itโs knowing WHEN you need it. ๐ฏ
Read the play. Control your movement. Make the right decision. ๐ง ๐ฅ

Any team would be lucky to have a goaltender willing to put his body on the line for his teammates. That compete level, courage, and commitment are what make great goalies. ๐ฅ๐
BUTโฆ be smart, goaltenders. ๐ง
Thereโs a fine line between making a brave save and putting yourself in an unnecessary dangerous position. Your job is to battle for every puck โ but itโs also to stay healthy and be ready for the next game.
Sometimes the best save you can make is knowing when NOT to put yourself in harmโs way.
Compete hard. Protect your crease. Protect yourself. ๐ฅ

Itโs always nice to have a little LUCK sitting in your back pocket ๐๐๐ฅ
Wishing the absolute best to Piet Kohnke-Sunenshine as he heads to NYU! ๐ฝ๐
Iโve had the privilege of working with Piet for nearly 10 years, and watching his growth season after season has been something special. Not only has he continued to develop athletically between the pipes, but his commitment to academics and personal growth has been just as impressive. ๐ฏ๐ช
From a young goaltender to heading off to one of the worldโs great universities โ couldnโt be more proud of you, Piet! ๐๐ฅ
Have a heck of a year, enjoy every moment, and go make your mark! ๐๐ฅ
Drill focus: Finishing our rotations through the shoulders and hips to properly align our body before initiating the push. Small details. Big results. ๐ฏ

SMELL THE PUCK. FEEL THE PUCK. BE THE PUCK. ๐๐ฅ
๐ง
Can you make the save without seeing it? ๐โ
This drill challenges the goaltender to feel the puck hit them, identify the rebound, and react โ all with their eyes closed.
Why? Because elite goaltending isnโt just about what you see. Itโs about awareness, feel, instincts, and reaction.
๐ง Your brain is your strongest muscle.
๐ช Train it. Challenge it. Trust it.

Thatโs the sequence behind every clean save โ track early, let your stick and body react on time, and the save takes care of itself.
