How To Properly Warm Up Your Hockey Goalie - Do's and Don't

[@evangillespie5638]

As a goalie... this makes me cry with joy.

[@c2hammer_]

Same bud! You wouldn't believe how often this stuff happens to me.

[@zen1101]

Same here

[@TheBaconNation]

Ikr someone hit me with a puck and it rly hurt. A.K.A that led to 4 goals Againest us

[@zokitv2909]

Evan Gillespie exactly an idiot hit me in the back of my neck when I was putting in the net

[@Luke-se2tr]

Same players are selfish in warmup and don't think about the goalies

[@louisalteen6021]

I'm a goaltender, I hate when players shoot at you randomly without warning or even sometimes all at once. It's also annoying when they get too close and make it too hard on you, it is a warm up.

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

Louis Alteen Exactly

[@MrOnionavenger]

+Louis Alteen im a goalie to it makes me so angry when we warm up and they do breakaways all warm up

[@hockeygoalie7877]

Saw you on goalie crease .net

[@gollumi5046]

im goalie too and i know your feeling :)

[@drewmonroe56]

Ya I'm also a goalie and I got a slap shot that hit me on a disk in my back resulting in me being out for 21 games

[@bakum2277]

This video is great because there are so many players that don't understand this. I'm not a goalie but my high school goalie got hurt pre game because of some of this nonsense. Generally during warm ups I'm aiming left to right no higher than knee level. Most goalies I played with like the side to side and to really get a good lateral workout during warmups.

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

Glad we could help.

[@infm0uswalee715]

Bakum22 I am a goalie and my team does all of the things that he says not to do

[@jacksonbartram1411]

Walshfam 3 haha same it's so annoying I shoot bottom corners only when my team goes top

[@jeffmarshall543]

right on

[@munenorikawasaki7796]

When people try and dangle during warmup i literally just ignore them and don't even attempt to stop it thats honestly the best thing to do

[@bzah9973]

Yea my whole team does that in warm ups and i just get out of the net and stretch instead

[@joshpurjue2753]

chris kirkham same

[@joshpurjue2753]

chris kirkham it just makes you look like a fool when they score on you but then dekeing out a goalie and sniping it top shelf doesent get there confidence up in there game

[@dylanb3988]

chris kirkham same thing here.

[@tristanedmondson920]

Thank you for posting this... players needs to see this

[@chrisdyson1015]

This is perfect - THANK YOU for creating this. I am running a coaching seminar in August and this will be shown. Coaches and players of all ages need to watch and follow this advice.

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

Chris Dyson Glad we could help, thanks for watching!

[@dancinggoalie3776]

I really appreciate this video. Personally I love getting shots from afar first and then have them work in, while working around the crease. Normally I also like to talk with my players to see how they like to warm up as to where they like to start shots off and then share my preferences (so I'm prepared as to where the shots are gonna come off and go). I'm lucky to be part of a good hockey crowd that know how to respect goalies, and they know the proper safety and etiquette of hockey warm ups of player and goalie. Now to share my personal pet peeves during warm ups (these have happened, but with people who think they're "special", luckily though there have been other players there to correct them), multiple shots at once, 2 on 0's, slap shots to the head, and my personal favorite... immediately crash the net and then dangle the shot to score. There is my two cents on pros and cons from a goalie perspective in warm ups.

[@FeelinWoosy]

imma goalie. im sharing this with my WHOLE team. thanks! 😊

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

Glad we could help! I think we need to make more of these.

[@FeelinWoosy]

Hockey Tutorial Haha yes you do!!. too bad yiu guys are not in florida. i coud help you make the vid!

[@Kazarri]

Thank you, this really helps me since im becoming a goalie now im prepared thanks to you.

[@Coconutmoniscool]

If someone trys to deke in warmups I just skate away

[@Coconutmoniscool]

Hahahahahahahahh ok buddy

[@cflargofan]

Noah Roller That is what a lot of goalies do. We are not warmed up, and do not have a feel for the puck. If you deke in warmups, no goalie likes you.

[@ryanfpalmer]

Noah Roller He clearly stated that it's a deke, not a shot.

[@cflargofan]

Noah Roller But you're supposed to be warming up the goalie. Dangling is not warming up.

[@cflargofan]

Noah Roller But it is not helpful in the warmup of the goalie.

[@albinklasson6025]

Awesome video! 👍 I hope that many players watch this and gets higher respect for their goalies because we deserves it

[@MrDernos94]

Man you deserve more views and likes! Thats pure gold. As a goalie, I salute you!

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

+Dernos94 Thank you very much! Glad this helps.

[@eli4615]

OMG love it! Why didn’t I showed that to all my teammates!?!? You’re awesome dude keep it up.

[@ssgspinella]

Two of my teams need to see this! Thanks for putting this out to protect us.

[@looigibruh119]

as a goalie im showing this to nearly my entire team i have head hunters patty Kane's and one time i had a kid that could shoot nearly 70mph clappers, one hit me in the back of the leg cuz i was turned away and it broke my leg... i was out for the entire season and i was soooo pissed off

[@liwric]

Thanks... I sent this to one of my friends. I am both player and goalie but I would concider myself good at both. I sent this to one of my friends that has a fast shot. Once at practice he shot and hit my collarbone and nearly broke it.

[@hellehansen1377]

As a goalie, I appreciate someone bringing this up!

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

+Helle Hansen Glad we could. Thanks for watching.

[@razorsedge5145]

This video is so right, I just recently got seriously hurt in the warm ups and my left knee sustained quite a bit of damage and now I’m out for a long time. I blame myself for not speaking up when the players were coming in and basically torching me. It takes two to communicate.

[@Hunter14]

Yea got to love the headshots in warm ups and dekes. My personal favorite is if I have my back turned to get a puck out of the net and they fire one in and hit me, that really prepares me for the game haha. I have a lot of pads on, but only on the front of my body.

[@matthewschulz8657]

My whole team needs to see this. We got the Kane, the head hunter and the ten guys who shoot at the same time.

[@kd-pt1zy]

Oh no. my old team did that once. I didn't even try to stop a puck that game. they blame me for the lose but I said do a proper warm no patty kane shit or clappers in the head.

[@nathanylhall6825]

thanks for the video right now I just play drop ins at my local rink but I have a lot of people head hunting and shooting when I'm not ready so I shared the video hoping to stop some of that.

[@WarChaplain]

Great vid! Thanks for putting that out there!

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

Thank you for watching! I hope you'll subscribe :)

[@HotBranch]

This Canadian goalie thanks you for this video. I intend to share it with all teams I play for.

[@demetrawalsma3573]

Crying with joy. Finally someone understands us.

[@SSStudios2000]

Some times i got towards net and forget its warm up, so i start to dangle. i always end up leaving the puck and just skating away from net. then some-one comes in and does exactly the same but actually shoots and scores and celebrates..... that really annoys me sometimes, but this video definitely helped, especially the part where the guys mention communication with the goalie and where they want me to shoot.

[@tadeasgubala7576]

Oh my god! This video is so relatable! As a goalie the head shots are the absolute worst, especially when its a slap shot!

[@benjaminvillemaire3056]

I'm a goalie I like it when they shoot at my glove and blocker first then pads I showed my coach this vid now I'm more confident before games

[@SOKOHASEK]

Do yo have any tips on picking up the puck with your stick?

[@aaronbiard5405]

Great advice

[@chrissohl1564]

Thank you for makeing this

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

Chris Sohl Thank you for watching it :)

[@alexscott4009]

Chris Sohl making***

[@owthockey3031]

I have been doing the wrong warm up so our goalie was not playing like usual so I tried doing what you said and we have won every game thank you

[@mmorrisonguindon]

thank you for making this video!!!!!!!!!

[@xxtaylorxx340]

It's also really annoying when players get there own rebounds while your focussing on the next shot like "yay good for you, you scored on an empty net" 👍🏼

[@mattutley4592]

Definitely a matter of preference. I never get set warm up drills. So people are always "freestyle shooting". I actually wish more players would grab there rebounds for me. I have terrible rebound control so I like getting warmed up with lateral on the ice butterfly movements before the game.

[@lukerisko7601]

I hate when they get there rebounds if the drill isn’t supposed to have rebounds or the next shot is coming.

[@TheAngryBrit97]

Just thought I'd ask, what team/s do you play for? It looks like peterborough rink in the UK. I'm a goalie in the junior leagues and ENL down south.

[@user-ph7lp2dl1q]

Classy video.

[@xp6327]

Are Bauer supreme good skates for recreational skating

[@katieshapland3618]

Yes. Listen to this

[@michaelschmidig4449]

How can I add Pavel Barber?

[@xZeGamingx]

Lollllolllllll

[@HockeyTutorialOfficial]

Michael Schmidig lol!!

[@macyd4961]

Michael Schmidig Pavel Barber

[@Noraa666]

I'd post this video on my fridge if I could lol

[@SGDragonSlayer]

I like to dangle em once or twice, but for the most part I like working on five hole and glove

[@ihavethepower7400]

You summed up my whole team in 3 minutes

[@ronnylarock13]

Nice video

[@djmonaco39]

Hello goalies, I am a forward, I will be following these precautions going forward, you are welcome and thank you for protecting our nets

[@Cont3nder]

I play with friends, and we play together just for fun. No leagues no games against anyone. So I guess you all know what it means for goalies during warm up... 3 shots at the same time. Only slapshots. Danglers... Normaly I dont even try to save slapshots. I just stand still. Same with danglers. If someone shoots at the same time with the guy whos shot Im taking, I skate away from goal and start doing warm ups I've learned when I was goalie in a team. I might be a bad team mate, but hey... I dont want to get hurt. :)

[@jonathanpitre2187]

This is 100% true, hate the guys who think they're Patty Kane the most

[@addisonphillips2438]

Most of my team needs to watch this.

[@luigipugliese9837]

everyone needs to see this

[@JohnWicksPencil14]

A LOT of skaters need to watch this video. Can’t stand when people shoot at you while you’re setting up the net. If I take a calf shot you’re gonna get an earful of me. Some teams know what to do and line up on the blue line for shots, or take some shots through the slot. Others have no idea and you’ll get a line of guys trying to dangle and pick you off. If that’s the case I typically skate away to go stretch more and talk to them after the game

[@GrizzlySolider]

This might be weird but are those jerseys you have for sale?

[@nickhensley9546]

I am a goalie and I have a bruised hand now because I was turned around setting up and my teammate took a slap shot and the puck hit the inner side of my blocker which has no protection

[@thomasreithmeier4713]

As a player I wait shoot wrist shots pretty close to his equipment that is the shot you should take

[@tylerz3055]

i really like the moral of this video. last year was my minor year of bantam and i got a headshot in the side of the head when i was skating across my crease, i hate people that dont respect us

[@ZinkzillaYoutube]

My whole team needs to watch this I'm a goalie in peewee

[@samuelwong6448]

I always take a light shot in my goalies glove or a slightly harder shot on his pads or blocker

[@benmitts9272]

my team goes for corners and headshots and I'm a goalie and my coaches tell them to go for the pass but they do shoot from the top of the circles or hashmarks and they don't do Patrick Kane things

[@marekjorgenson1256]

what i really hate in practce/warm ups is when the players take the shot, and then if i save it they take the rebound and score! unless we are playing rebounds i dont try to save these, but it still annoys me!

[@joreyperry]

amen

[@calebdavids4324]

i know how u feep

[@sinistril]

I barely take any shots in warmup as a goalie. I prefer to do a few laps, take a handful of shots, stretch, then maybe take a couple more shots. When I do let my team take shots in warmup, they're just trying to score, I've gotten a bunch of head shots/had danglers broken, and so on, so I don't give them the opportunity to throw me off my game. Sometimes a player will say take more shots and I'll refuse. I almost never have bad games with my minimalist warmups, but always have bad games when I let my team do their thing. Bad warmups make for bad games. I'd rather go in cold.

[@daledemanchuk7920]

i tell the guys before the game: when you out players get on the ice its your warm up and when i finally get into the net its my warm up i want mostly glove shots, a few in the pads to get me moving, warmed up and ready to go!

[@willhost3378]

THANK GOD MAN!!

[@erik5354]

Respect

[@zombiehunter599]

If people do any of the things listed in the video i just skate away and go stretch away from the net

[@CaptainPrice26]

yup that's me every game I try to tear up my crease during there skate arounds but of course while I'm doing that and stretching they shoot, it's just ughh

[@rasmussullivan6327]

My coaches get pissed at me if I try to skate away because they see me as a shooting dummy, annoys me so much.

[@TheKaidynB]

Goalies are major beauties. Protect them at all costs

[@Fexone718]

do u play in a league at all ?

[@crpz9299]

I need to show this to my teammates :D

[@vickeberg3125]

I think that all of my teammates should see this video. They think that "warming up youre goalie" is just when you are trying to make is as hard as possible for him and then get angry at you because you didnt even try to save it.

[@LukeAndersonn]

i personally dont ply ice hockey, i am more of a ball hockey player. I am a goalie since 2011 and with all of my teams i have played with they just dont understand. I can think of a few people that just go out and try to shoot as hard as they can and dont get near the net. It really gets on my nerves. I wish that my team could watch this video so they could understand!

[@alexanderjames8190]

me to

[@lukerisko7601]

I really hope everyone can see this.

[@noble64890]

Your goalie is your everything. You must guard him, assort confidence in him. Make him feel at bay; only then will he return the favor and guard your goal for the entirety of the game. He holds the burden of the whole team when it comes to powerplays. Respect your goaltender as he will be looking your backs.

[@psiaskiing]

+100. Let us calibrate our body to its conditioning for the day. You have to hit 6'x4' non moving target with a 3" disk. We have to stop that 3" disk doing upwards of 100mph. Timing and coordination is everything to our job. Warm up is for the goalie. Remember that.

[@rasmussullivan6327]

As a goalie I hate when players just mindlessly shoot when I'm turned on them. They also go super try hard and deke me out and waste my energy or take a slap shot an inch away from me and risk injuring me. The worst part is when they stun me with a slap shot they think it's funny and laugh it off. Lol I swear I want to just throw a game and make them lose haha.

[@kd-pt1zy]

I did once to my team. All they did was dekes and clappers to my head. I was pissed.

[@hawksfanjt1913]

+Kyle Dermott slappers

[@Justin-cm3oy]

Same thing...

[@andrewrizzitano3929]

During drills when players are cycling through one by one, I hate it when a player comes to shoots and tries to get the rebound as the next player is coming in. I'm like I'm trying to get ready for the next shooter, you're being a distraction.

[@aaliyahskye6829]

haha same though!

[@highlightvids8035]

I love the Patrick Kane part. Go Hawks

[@christianz344]

I'm a goalie, I agree with everything here, I hate those guys even on my own team that wanna dangle and put up 100 moves before the shot. In a warm up

[@brickdrawer]

Time to show this to my team... they literally do every single thing

[@qelip]

Umm well in are league the net is already done and no one is aloud to shout high or we do push ups

[@joshpurjue2753]

Duck Man3D5 lucky

[@gmarie40]

There's nothing more annoying when my teammate/teammates dangle, snipe, and shoot at my head. I just wanna take my stick and slash the back of their knees. Forgot to mention shooting when I'm not looking or shooting when I'm taking someone else's shot.

[@demetrawalsma3573]

I'm a goaltender too. I absolutely hate it when people snipe top corners.

[@olivercolpitts1559]

I’m also a goalie and some kids cele after they score during practice or warmup

[@jyrikalliainen8552]

worst is when players in warm up celes whe he scores

[@xxtaylorxx340]

This happens with me all the time because my teams shots are weak af so when they don't score in warm up they act like they just won the Stanley cup! It's really annoying though!

[@alexscott4009]

Jyri Kalliainen learn how to spell

[@martinfmario8839]

My goalie asks me to use my best moves sometimes. But he also asks me to shoot as hard as I can because I have the hardest shot on the team.

[@xxtaylorxx340]

With my team I hate when they shoot really close during warm ups and wait to long by going to far wide or try to "Patrick Kane" and deke in warmups especially the defence. They should be practicing shots cause it's not a likely game situation for a defence to get a breakaway and pull off a dangle it's just stupid.

[@brianmurchie7404]

My goalie would stretch for the first bit of warmup so everyone could take slappers and deke and just warm themselves up, then the goalie would come in and we would start warming him up

[@goaltendersofthegalaxy4579]

i love videos like these that make goalies seem like inanimate objects, there's people behind those masks.

[@dominicditlefsen800]

I should show this to my team

[@bisonfan-xv5yy]

is that goalie shanon long? ciaron longs brother?

[@bigsjsharks9292]

My roller hockey team that plays on Sunday and I am the goalie

[@Andygarrett357]

One of the biggest coaching failures these days is they don't teach house and recreation league players to properly warm up the goalies. I ask for warmup shots and they still go high and wide. My old grade school coach, Coach Kegg would have them doing push-ups after the second high and wide.

[@bensedg04]

As a goalie, I need to show this to the guys who decide to take clappers at my head from the hashmarks. Like I'm trying to warm up, not get a concussion

[@gavinreining3401]

I hate it when coaches try to warm me up by taking slap shots from the hash marks and hit me in the head... one coach said it would make me a better goalie when I told him to keep the shot low...

[@mattutley4592]

Yeah, and if this is done to a goalie who is still learning its just the worst... I've seen my fair share of "flinching" goalies and it generally stems from idiot teammates in practice rifling it in at close range. Its already terrifying enough to have highly vulcanized hard rubber puck fly at you during a game but thats not needed during warm ups or practice.

[@stuped7216]

Sometimes if I know it’s going to be a hard game I have a few of my players do something of this stuff just to get my anger going. I know it’s probably not healthy but the angrier I am, the more snappy my moves are

[@ethanh5870]

As a goalie. I agree.

[@Oldmanflyfishing]

I had my own player break my neck shield in warm up. Who, gets to the slot and blast a slapper at your goalies head ?

[@elijahold8856]

Even though I play goalie for field hockey, this is exactly what my players should be doing. I get really pissed off when they do this to me. It's just a warm up

[@thisismedgr]

I've been injured before a game by my own team doing stupid things like this in warmup. Trying to stretch me out, shot in the back, shot in the head, shot at when I wasn't even facing in that direction, or the old 'don't mind me, I'm just going to blast you with my hardest slapshot from six feet away'... I'm at the point now where if I don't like what's happening I just leave the net, after all these years I don't put up with that crap anymore. Go try to hurt the other goalie during the game, he's expecting it, as am I; I should only have to worry about 21 guys, not 42.

[@lizzyloved1624]

I'm a goalie and on my old team I had to be taken away cause I got a head shot and passed out

[@MrBananabart]

When your skaters shoot one on the back of your leg Ooh that hurts

[@sfmdude4898]

As a goalie if they take a headshot i skate over to them and i say 'We have no extra goalie,and i can walk out of here and make you forfeit alright?' and then usually they chirp me and get mad but im just there to play not to worry about my head

[@spoiler5oo]

dangle the puck you get the 2 handed over head defense (like chopping wood).

[@mayagonzalez4219]

I'm a goalie and the most annoying thing is when you stop the puck and it falls in front. The next person comes in and takes that puck in the front that you left there and gets so exited when they score. D:

[@BobbyT.]

Thank you for this. Lol
