FULL RECOVERIES ACROSS THE CREASE - GETTING UP! | How to Hockey Goalie Tips & Drills

Regaining your feet whenever possible is the most integral part of modern day goaltending. If you don't recover to your feet, then it's harder to get on angle, the top corners are revealed, and you've committed to the shot before the shot happens: a huge NO-NO.
In this video catch up on some bad habits goalies do on full recoveries as well and some good habits we want to develop.

I have used your videos a number of times with my goalies. I appreciate the videos and how they line up with my teachings

[@thementalgoalie]

Thanks for the feedback Nick! Keep up the great work!

[@matthewhorner]

Great info

[@thementalgoalie]

Thank you!

This is a great vid. I still make all these mistakes...from not stopping and setting my feet, to not projecting my hands forward, to standing up and relaxing moving cross crease. Good to see so I can work on correcting them.

[@thementalgoalie]

Absolutely! I'm glad it helped!

Great video !! At the 4:13 mark, you describe "using your lead foot to hinge off of" to create the depth needed. This a skill we plan on drilling with my 2010 all summer, as he is extremely fast...sometimes over slides.. but when he gets there, he needs the extra depth bc he is 5 foot. Can you detail that part of the tech in more depth ??? MUCH APPRECAITED

[@thementalgoalie]

Thank you! Take a look at clips right after the diagram explanation and watch how the '05 demo goalie drives his lead foot through the paint and then "snaps" it forward to bring it underneath his shoulders and to the top of the crease. The "hinge" forward with the lead foot is basically a "snapping" motion to bring the leg forward to the top of the crease. Think of it as turning the front wheels of a front wheel drive car to point and pull the nose of the vehicle into a turn. Goalie skating is so unique compared to other skaters, we are rarely striding, but instead rely on strong starts and stops to get our feet in position. I hope this helps a little. Good luck to your 2010!

@@thementalgoalie Thank you for your detailed response. Yes, we spend a large portion of our skate on stopping solid at the square point and proper edge control and leading with the hands...so this video resonated.
