Goalcrease Beginner Series: How to Butterfly Slide

[@mattmassie2530]

I'm a 35 year old guy just starting playing goalie and this video is maybe the most useful and informative one I've found so far in how to get the butterfly slide down. Thanks!

Thank you very much for this! I’m 41 and just decided to relearn goaltending after playing the late-1990s style for 20 years. Mechanically I’m probably about where the little kid in this video is so it’s nice to know where to start focusing on.

Came here because I've always played D. We needed a goalie a few months ago in beer league and took the net. Didn't set the world on fire, but I'm accruing equipment and want to get into it. I stacked the pads successfully in the game, but I'd prefer to not do that again.

Thanks for this! Would love to see more tutorials for beginners from you guys :) Some suggestions maybe some camera angles from the back of the goalie and a wireless mic so we can hear you clearly as the audio has some echo.

Really like that warm-up exercise with the leg kick, I've never seen that before. Great video

Great video. I have an 8 year old too. He’s athletic and has good instincts but these technical videos are very helpful

Just got out on the ice for the first time in 7 months. For some reason I was able to do this now. Idk how but it was stoked! Got a lot to work on but the fact o can slide to both sides and recover I’m super pumped about it. I’ll try the one knee balance thing next time i get out there

This is just what i need. I’m 50 and feel like I forgot how to goalie after a hip injury and arthritis in the hip setting in. I’m flopping all over the place when sliding. I need to go all the way back to the basics and try and retrain my hip and keep my torso up.

This is super informative and young goalies should take note. Hope you're well Jeff! PS. Great looking set there, too.

The perfect song to make a video for goalies from from being a mite to the pro's... Help, I need somebody Help, not just anybody Help, you know I need someone, help When I was younger, so much younger than today I never needed anybody's help in any way But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors Help me if you can, I'm feeling down And I do appreciate you being round Help me, get my feet back on the ground Won't you please, please help me And now my life has changed in oh so many ways My independence seems to vanish in the haze But every now and then I feel so insecure I know that I just need you like I've never done before Help me if you can, I'm feeling down And I do appreciate you being round Help me, get my feet back on the ground Won't you please, please help me When I was younger, so much younger than today I never needed anybody's help in any way But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors Help me if you can, I'm feeling down And I do appreciate you being round Help me, get my feet back on the ground Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh

I’m 31 and just started playing hockey/goal. I can’t do this at all and it’s frustrating

If you’re a youth goalie or a parent with one, PLEASE READ THIS.. I was a youth goalie, for years. I started out strong, was good, best around in my age group. When going from age 14 to 15 i got a new coach, one who thought HE knew best how goalies should play. He forced me to start staying upright more, and told me not to drop down unless i HAD to. It completely ruined my game, i never played high-school hockey, and i was never good again because i wasnt playing naturally.. Please, PLEASE if you see a coach making a kid change his style because he thinks he knows best, please stop it IMMEDIATELY. It killed me that i never got to have fun playing goalie again, and never moved on.. Note: This only goes for kids who have been playing the position for years and developed their own style. If they’re a brand new goalie, never played, then a bit of direction is good. But more than anything, the direction SHOULD be, “do whatever comes naturally to stop the puck” cause its different for every kid. Please learn from my mistake of letting that coach ruin hockey for me...

Something I struggle with.
