Elite: 2 hours on-ice training
Beginners: 1hr 15 min on-ice training
On-ice training will focus on all the necessary skills and drills to maximize each goalie's time on the ice. Ice sessions will be broken into stations that implement fundamental techniques such as goalie stance, movement, shot preparation, save selection, post play, on-ice mobility, puck handling, and more advanced game situations as the week moves forward. There will be a major emphasis on edge work and recovery, helping goaltenders get to the correct position EARLY.
Functional Strength: Not just lifting weights to lift weights. Every lift we will do will have the purpose of helping goaltenders stop more pucks and get from point A to point B faster, and more controlled.
Goalie Specific Mobility: We avoid just stretching the same muscles repeatedly. Every movement/stretch we will teach and practice will aid goaltenders in injury prevention and keeping them feeling flexible off AND on the ice.
Stamina: Cardio that won't involve just "going for a long run", but constant stops, starts, and changes of direction.
Speed and Agility: Goaltenders will work on trying to get from post to post faster.
Hand-Eye: Innovative hand-eye training drills for goaltenders to take home with them and refine their skills throughout their season
