Goalie Drills

Here are some hockey goalie drills to improve your skills between the pipes.

Although we cannot really increase the speed of our nervous impulses, we can improve the speed of interpretation and reaction. Think of the first time you played your favourite video game. When I was a kid the game was PacMan and I remember starting out chomping the little dots on the screen and dodging the ghost for about eight seconds before the ghost got the best of me and my PacMan character was disintegrating before my very eyes. But then as I played more and more, my fingers learned how to control the movement with more skill - it was as though I did not have to think about what I was doing - my hands just reacted. This is what I am trying to do with the following drills - expose you to numerous blocker and glove saves training your body how to react.
