Stance and Body Positioning – to maintain a simple foundation to move from
Technical Footwork – for the most efficient movement path pre and post save
Pivoting and Rotation – effectively utilize core to establish angle and positioning
Tracking – to effectively see pucks in and out of every save
Butterfly Principles – Take away 70% of scoring opportunities with proper butterfly positioning
Hand Positioning – Learn how to make hard saves look easy with simple arm and hand positioning adjustments
