goaltending drills

[MrCoolforever13]

this kids going to be really good

[zoomzoomgt]

u in nhl yet??

[TheRoxySkier]

do your pads have the graphic on the side? and if they do does it actually slow down your sliding because i just bought a new pair of V4 7450's and they have the graphic on the side and lots of people are saying that it slows their sliding down.. :/

thanks :)

[goalie626]

are vaughn pads nice?

[CopperKing33]

@goalie626 i personally love em..youd have to try them out if you can and see what you think

[13371492]

nice save at 0:51

[Ayeeejosh]

ugh these are leg burnerssss

[TheVaughnGoalie11]

im 13 and i play just like u...im small and very quick love ur vids man!! good job



[hockygoalie3031]

did elkins provide you with the video? or did you have to ask for it?

[cedarpointgod]

is this a tornament size net

[RichieEastside]

Good work. You should be about college age now, hopefully you've got a scholarship or something. Best of luck!

[zsuzsaistibibi]

5 goals went in :P

[AssassineBlades1503]

@zsuzsaistibibi Let's see you.

[zsuzsaistibibi]

your good goalie

[cell2123]

good movement, but keep ur glove up

[Tlauterbacher]

great stance but in the movement drill where your moving around the crease, stopping and starting your close is in by your chest and closed. make sure it's open, one less step before making a save :)

[Flisaros]

now do that again but make it look more sexy and overdramatic, after all that is 50% of goaltending :DD

[blahson13]

Highlight reel save at 0:51 XD

[TheHockeyfan29]

sharp but his glove is closed while moving

[TheHockeyfan29]

sharp but hsi glove is closed while he moves around the crease

[FredThe2ndgeneration]

thanks needed to learn some more drills trying to improve my skills and get a little better this will be my first year on a team because ive spent a long time practicing

[MetallicaRocks1995]

Love ur Pads ! :D

[Silence105]

wow, really really good for your age!

[hockeyace121]

my uncle is a scout for a goalie an ur pretty good wanna play for the Thrashers as a backup goalie?

[skylar44]

only complaint, you keep that glove hand pretty closed in your stance

[alexslayercf]

yea i dont think the net is regulized size

[BillionDollarZombie]

It's an optical illusion created by the camera zoom.

[tomsupinka]

what length do you get your skates cut at

[tomsupinka]

what length do you get your skates cut at?

[Khabibulin3935]

damn, your good.  I'm 5'7-5'8 and i'm looking for a chest protector. I'm surosed to grow to about 5'10 so any sugestions on what brand and size chest protector I should use??? My price range is $115 and under.

[1001goalie]

dude your glove positioning is messed up

[captincopper]

r u in pros? lol

[chelsc31]

you need to get farther out of the blue on those crease movement drills; you're still about 3 inches inside the paint

[wkozaa123]

The next Luongo or Broduer or Miller!

[HumpDeBump44]

Dude you're really good. I wish I could play like that.

[DJStropp]

your glove man at 1:5o through out all drills your glove was closed and in the wrong place but nice job

[RayCruzMontemayor]

Great Work!! You are a terrific goalie. I am a life-long goalie and goalie coach and I like you technique. I will show my goalies this video clip. Your Vaughns are cool. I use Vaughn eqiipment too! Keep up the good work.

[RayCruzMontemayor]

[fatdudewithsword]

it's pretty easy to stop a shot at 10 mph

[shoelaceb3lt]

how old were you in this video

[goalsrus2]

@shoelaceb3lt 14 -15 yrs old

[BadMista123]

@goalsrus2 nice goletenting soon nhl superstar

[LethalStick97]

At 1:10... HOW THE HELL DO YOU DO THAT! LOL when ever I try pushing of like that I cant keep going in a straight direction.. Someone help me!?

[hockeydued101]

@LethalStick97 its all leg strength

[OPT1206]

@LethalStick97That is called a butterfly slide, the way he pushed straight was using his goalie skate (which is straight) to push directly to the side while keeping his body straight. he kept his right leg centered with where he was going and used power from his thighs to push himself directly sideways.

[yumpin]

From watching the drill at the beginning I noticed that you are keeping your blocker up, leaving a gap in your armpit. I have been scored on many times because I had the same 'flaw', especially since anything shot in that region will have the tendency to squeeze into the hole (i know i know sickos). Excellent recovery rate and reactions.

[Headfields]

You have to learn controlling the rebounds! But you're very good with yor stockhand, amazing:D

[30thewall]

Very good tech's, I agree with the glove comments, look at the stance of NHL goalies, they stand big and glove open and tilted 80 degree angle to the puck. Also it's better to stand big. I'm also learning and these are some of the things i'm working on. One this to mention, you have excellent recoveries and you have speed. Watch your rebounds, this is where they get us guys! Keep it up man, you R Good.

[fleury2000]

wtf is with the glove

[Take1Them1Out]

man hes really good, he really impressed me. all he needs to do is keep his glove open

[puckblocker845]

this goalie cant even keep his glove straight ord open, he just has it there like he forgot about it, and i didnt see him grab any pucks with it, this goalie is a bad example of anything for goalies

[pbcapr314133]

Might help to open your glove

[pbgod01]

are those vaughn 7200 or 7300

[25sportslover]

Flyersfan.... I don't think you know what your talking about. On the first few drills, you can clearly see they are shoting low expect every once in a while the puck goes up high and he stays up. Don't critize when your not sure what your critizing on... also to the kid who says "im not a goalie.... heres my advice, but dont get mad if I'm wrong cause I'm not a goalie".... you can't give advice to someone who is clearly quite good in the field of goaltending then say your not realysure aboutit

[goalieluvr23]

nice glove at 3:57

[TexasCanadian210]

I've always been told to push of my toe, but i never slid far and im not a big goalie maybe the same size as the kid in the video.. but i think it's just my pad honestly cause it like drags on the ground like the bottom half so hopefully when i get my new pads it will be the problem lol

[flyersfan4343]

shoot high on him and you will score. its funny how almost all the shots are low.

[stud388]

What level his he playing at.

[802wolves]

what part of your foot are you supposed to push off on? i usually push off the ball of my foot or the heel becuase thats the only place i have an edge (havnt sharpened in my skates in a year and a half)

[TexasCanadian210]

wow... that's a long time.. i try and push of my toe but i can never get the force to go over ... or i just push off my center of my blade

[TexasCanadian210]

and also i think it has soomething to do with my pads .. cause they like the bottom of my pads like drag on the ground

[TexasCanadian210]

the problem with me is when i go into my butterfly and slide over with my skate i always almost never get a good push its like i just slip almost and when ever i do my t-push i always slip some how lmao any suggestions ?

[tilanne69]

try to turn your chest to the puck first and legs too. you cant make a proper slide to the post if your pushing leg is behind of you. rise your knee to high, be sure your skate is little front of you if youre comparing it your other pad on ice. then make a push, use your whole leg and skate, final push with toe.

[simonschneider15]

Butterfly goalie lol

I,m more a stand up goalie

Btw how old are you i,m 15 years old and i,m playing 1 division in holland i,f played in

the hague

[SwBobcat1]

You're exceptionally good at placing rebounds where you want them. My only things is glove placement and how open it is. It doesn't seem to be affecting you in this video, just keep it in mind because as you move up the hockey ladder players are definatley going to take advantage of that. Otherwise I see you are an excpetional goaltender. And I like how you follow your rebounds during practice, that's the stuff that appeals to scouts.

[acenspades]

this kid is good!

my 20 year old girlfriend wants to have your baby now...FML :'(

[nickschorn01]

@acenspades your gf must be a damn slut then if just from watchin a good goalie she wants to have his kids...i think most would agree...no offense just sayin...

[71663982257050897jt]

how old r u

[nCorelli]

man you gotta love the sound a skate makes when it grinds that ice!

[TehMonkey31593]

i would die doing the across the blue line the other stuff would be tough but id live

[ilovesports35]

good job dude !!

[30Rockon]

good reactions but you didnt look where the rebound was going

[crosbyshowdown87]

is this in massachusetts?

[GuireGod]

When i slide with my skates i never use the whole blade, i use the tip, works better some how :S

[lilljerker]

You have to keep your glove more open and down

[AWESOMEGEOFFREY55]

Awsome vid

[scherpy]

pretty good but glove is never in position lol and the movements around the net no rotation at all not even turning your head to look where your going someone could completely move the net on you without you even knowing lol

[TheSlipknotcult]

keep ur catch glove open

[elitegoalie29]

at 3:20 you committed yourself down low and so as a result you got beaten up high

[kila730]

lol at 1:07 it looks like hes break dancing

[doingit66]

this was added in 2008 he is obv not 14 now

[Alexisupercool]

ya i think its the camera ratio

[ROY33TURCO35]

The net looks really fucked up

[jackXXburn44]

He's very good at his crease movements. He loads his weight on his push very nicely ...just needs to keep that glove a little bigger

[BostonDudeGuy]

pretty damn good at 14......just hope his eyes are good enough to find the puck with forwards screening in front of him

[johnnyi35]

glove aint open and ready! figure it out

[Friends4evr231]

nicccccceeee

[CopperKing33]

is it jus me or does the net look higher then it is wide???

[xRvGPuppetMasTeR]

@CopperKing33 It does but I think its just the fact that he is a small goalie.

[jackXXburn44]

Youre making good stops but when you get to the next level of play youll need to concentrate on your rebounds a lot more in order to be successful

[MajicPictures]

pretty solid, you're quick. just watch your glove positioning.

[CdnGulfa]

Damn....14 eh...nice skills. Good luck!

[stangsgoalie31]

open your glove u have it closed on almost all shots

[123masont123]

true but have you realized he made some very nice saves anyway

[stangsgoalie31]

yea i no i was just giving him a tip

[goalie1996]

wow ur realy good im just starting out in nets i hope someday ill be as good as u

[MartyTurco093]

what a save at 47-52

[Friends4evr231]

i think that went in

[kptheegoalie]

Backside pushes do seem a little slow, although I'm sure he's probably better at them now. They're not the easiest thing to do in terms of goalie movements.

When he's moving towards his glove side (in the box/triangle drills), he's got some overlap going with his blocker on his pads. Move it a few inches to the sides and it'll cover more area.

Tight butterfly!!!

Good video taping until you started doing the whole zoom in/zoom out...

[unitx23]

awsome vidio

[goflyers17]

nice video...just a few ticks

[ludakirkhcky9090]

you can eliminate a step and get over quicker if you're making a pad save with your blocker side and you get up on that leg.. you put it back down when its half up then you pick up your left leg then pick up your right leg again and make it in 3 steps instead of 2

[levisman33]

first 15 shots were almost all on the ice but you touched none with your stick... gotta use it more to control rebounds

[goalsrus2]

the drill is just to work on leg development, not rebound control, stick control ect,,, just leg development,, the shots are suppose to be at ice level for this drill

[kptheegoalie]

The rebounds he let out actually weren't that bad considering they were only being directed with the pads. He put most of them off to the sides, whereas many goalies will leave fat rebounds directly or very close to the centre/front of them.

[fleury2000]

dude the glove is bad what lvl do you play and back side push is slow and when on your post your back leg is to far out.

but postive is you read the shot good and never leave early good for your size

[paintballkidman35]

glove needs to stay open

[Eaglegoalie31]

Wow your great but youve got to work on keeping your glove straight

[goaliegurl3195]

wow nice butterfly

[brad441]

work on your rebound control and positioning of you body and glove tothe puck.

[macenzaboy13]

those drills arnt working on rebounds, just saving the inital shot

[varlyrocks]

you rock

[CPpunk132]

holy shit how old are you youre incredible

[NJDevilsParise9]

WOW..how old are u?!?! ur fcking awesome

[hockygoalie3031]

hey so when u go to these camps...who records for you?

[DCShoesSkater]

Great Job

[MXrsWoW92]

just some helpful tips, by the way your really talented, during the crease movement drill remember to be squared away when coming to the top of the crease, you seem to angle too far to your glove side when leading with your blocker and the opposite when you lead with your glove. Your body seems to be angled towards the direction of the pipe you were at last when coming to the top of the crease.

[shwaubypuck1]

Also, if you look at his glove during the crease movement, his glove is closed. You always want that to be open and facing the shooter.

[jimmyluu101]

u are gonna be gr8 1 day

[Hockeyguy519]

beastly

[gdgrgrtdrtrg]

amazing goalie!!!!! try to keep your glove hand open and out ;)

[popsicles1290]

How tall is he and how much does he weigh and i'm also a goalie and i am just trying to see if we are about the same body type.

[keatong101]

try and keep ur glove out and open

[Kraut1988]

this kid is great ......

[rsdipasquo]

my son is 5 and just started playing goal. He also plays out every other time but goalie is his passion. Youtube "Luca has no 5 hole". if you had any advice for a young goalie what 3 things should I focus on in his first year. Oh and what level is your son playing at he looked like he was stopping grown men shooting at him.....nice video

[goalsrus2]

I would let you son continue aternating between goal and player . The most important thing for your son at his age is to enjoy and have fun what he is doing, the most important thing for me to teach Mitch at an early age was to become a good skater, work hard and respect other players and most important the coaches who spend hours helping you develope your skills.These skills happen with time but should always be worked on no matter how old you are.Skate-Skate Skate and then skate some more

[btskatepunks]

i would say always stay square to the puck challenge the shooter keep your stick infront of your 5 hole even if u know ur going to save it dont go down to fast because they could always shoot high once u get in a bigger league such as midgets and check were u are at in the goal before u challenge them by clanking your stick and snagger on the posts(that what i always do when im in net it seems to help)

[monkeymaniak]

k thanks man.

[mlr2112]

Excellent. Great form.

[monkeymaniak]

hey,do u have any

suggestions,on ways

to break in your pads,

cause i have the exact same ones.

[goalsrus2]

the best way is to get on the ice and work them in, practice, drills ,butterfly slides, and lots of hours,

[123masont123]

hes trying to do that hes making it seem like its open but at the last second he opens it i do it to very eficient

[Atzo34]

This guy is really good but 1 thing your glove is a little close to ur body and not opened enough

[DanielEdPSmith]

I agree, you've got a lot of potential as a young little goalie. Only thing I saw was that the glove was near closed on your goalie crease movement. Nonetheless, great job!

[summitgoalie39]

how olds this kid

[goalsrus2]

14for this video

[imsgoalie]

He's a pretty sharp little goalie!

[DaveandBrand]

swakenspanken is totaly right the glove is closed most of the time. i'd like to see how that goalie does with shots above the mits seem like he's always in butterfly

[Swakenspanken]

you might try opening your catcher. other than that your technically sound

[goaliesrock123]

i noticed that you kick at the puck alot and you leave rebounds try and use those extentions but thats it you are a good goalie

[NoRageImAPage]

Impressive coordination. It's like you weren't trying half the time, and still managed to make some nice saves.

[NDfan1992]

I know right, the kid has really good stick position throughout as well

[cavekidsmomma]

how is it that everyone with these pads cant close off the b-fly?

[goalie309]

Nice. I was going to go to Jon Elkin's goalie school but I decided not to. Looks like it was a good camp.

[J029029]

Very good! ... Imma try these drills myself!

[dchockeygoali07]

elkin is a dick in person. went there twice, couldn't stand the guy.

great camp though.

[mantlemonkey30]

do any of you guys recommend a good glove because i HATE my rbk 8k glove. i was gonna go TPS but if you have any suggestions reply to this comment. thanks.

[xXElecTricKXx]

yo go with either Stomp, Vaughn, Montreal, I have Stomp blocker and glove and they are amazing and made in CANADA!!!! i would suggest Stomp or montreal the most

[poopeater6]

really u dont liek ur rbk 8k? i love it but i also was gonna go TPS but im really happy with my rbk

[MarkusGoalie]

xXElectrickXx is right, Vaughn and Montreal gloves are amazing!

Ive tried the Vaughn, they are very comfortable, and I have the whole Montreal Set, gloves & pads and they are amazing, the catcher is easy to break into, took me a couple of days, all though when the leather inside gets cold it hardens very quickly,

[drummergoalie]

Dude, great video...just open up the glove, when u get older and shots get faster it will be easier than opening it and then closing it to catch a puck...

[canuckgoalie95]

thats a good video im 13 watch mine goaliecanuck95

[mattmetz1]

who cares how he holds his glove, its working for him lol but great goaltending dude

[DivisFan]

good goalie xD ^^

[TTheofan4life]

Really good goalie :)

[dougalder62]

yea man u got the bear claw goin

[nodakswede]

you hold ur glove wierdly check out my saves video plz comment

[goalieman31327]

your good with your pads but dont let up too many rebounds

[phantoms4eva]

yeah ur an amazing goalie but you should try to use leg extensions, because ur kicking at the puck resulting in a rebound, so work on that then you'll be an absoloutly amazing goalie

[mattplaudis]

dude, yu are a SIIICCCKK goaile, and don' let anyone trash on you man, but also te the feedback. right around 4:03 you kick out a rebound right into the middle. i know it's tought to control those but try to get a stick on that.- again man, keep doing what you're doing, you're really quick and have great positioning

[boogaardman]

yeah have that glove open as big as you can get

[monkeymaniak]

why's ur glove closed so much?

[queensbury301788]

he is very good hes a very good goalie keep up the good work

[bf2n00b]

He is very good on the ice and on the glove side rebounds too

[rusticnacho420]

this kid is good! has good movement, good positioning and great rebound control. some very interesting drills here as well. Great post thanks!!

[Chappiee]

[halofreak120]

[curtmang]

[rockey9229]

[gncc335]

Great job son... Keep up the good work and ignore the ass hat's making comments.

[PhDSociology]

Better yet, take constructive pointers, and throw away the rest ;o)

[oddmud]

wow dude, keep it up!

[GoalieOromoctoEagles]

Good job man. I'm 15 and play for my High School in Canada. My SV% is .916 and you look good to me. Great reflex's, recoveries, speed, rebound control, technique, etc. Keep it up and keep the dream alive.

[monkeymaniak]

really good to me,,

[TaInHeYwOoD]

very nice!... man dont you hate the leg development drill?, haha my coach makes me go back and forth 12 times each practice :( haha it kills soo much. Btw very nice butterfly stance!

[Channy545]

[pepsi555]
