Hockey Goalie Resource

Sometimes the hardest game to play in as a hockey goalie is the game where your own team is dominating the game and you are only get a few shots each period. As we all know its so much easier to feel comfortable in net when you are getting a lot of shots, but what do you do to stay warm and focused when you aren’t getting enough shots?

It is important to make sure that you are doing whatever you can to engage yourself in the game. Go out and be aggressive when it comes to playing the puck. Also, you are going to want to make sure that you are focusing on whats going on even when the puck is in the other end. I used to shuffle and track the puck wherever it went even if it isn’t anywhere near you. When you are getting plenty of shots that is a good time to rest, but if you aren’t getting enough shots thats a good time to stay warm and engaged. If you don’t do something to keep your mind sharp, there is a good chance that you might give up one of those soft goals that every hockey goalie has had nightmares about!
