SUCCESS IS A CHOICE
Weekly Programming
Goalies who attend our goalie clinics will be exposed to the most modern and proven goaltender training techniques available. McGuire Goaltending is constantly updating their drills and remains dedicated to educating themselves and discovering the newest and most effective ways to teach goaltenders as part of our hockey development approach.
The methods used for each goalie are not based on a specific style, but on the needs of the individual. On top of the technical improvements in their overall skills, each goaltender will also experience an improved sense of confidence that will help them both on and off the ice.
Goaltender Training Areas of Focus include:
- Increasing overall confidence and self-esteem both on and off the ice.
- Encouraging students to be individuals and build on their own style.
- Improving hand-eye coordination.
- Learning to 'gap out' – closing the gap between themselves and the shooter.
- Pivoting quicker and properly.
- C-cuts | T-push | Shuffle.
- Developing better foot speed.
- Rebound control - Steering & Smothering.
- Proper butterfly techniques (slide, recovery push, hard drop, post integration).
- Handling the puck – Passing + Shooting.
- Improving muscle memory / Overall reaction time.
- Teaching verbal communication skills on the ice.
- Understanding the goaltending position.
- Proper stance, glove + blocker positioning.
- The mental aspect of goaltending - Learning to deal with adversity.
- Tracking the puck more efficiently.
- Playing angles.
- Teaching proper recovery techniques.
- Improving crease awareness.
- Improving technical form.
- Game situation training.
- Glove and blocker side reverse VH / Leans.
- Teaching more effective methods to move.
- Teaching more effective post integration methods.
- Teaching proper practice habits.
- Explaining and teaching 'Box-Control.'
The Bottom Line:
McGuire Goaltending Camps + Clinics allow goalies to improve their skills through the repetition of modern, up-to-date proper fundamentals in a fun, up-tempo environment with encouragement from experienced hockey professionals.
