Martin Biron's Helmet-Cam from the NHL 2012 Winter Classic Practice
Loading...
Uploaded by GBHAgoalies on Jan 2, 2012
I've spliced together two clips from NHL.com *for the purposes of criticism and education* to illustrate a pro goalie's constant level of visual attachment to the puck. This is only a practice, and there's a lot of horseplay going on, but Biron's vision is absolutely wired to the puck he's facing: he's not just moving his eyes, but tracking the puck with his whole head -- and thus with the camera rigged up on top of it. As the famous 'Quiet Eye' study by Vickers and Panchuk proves, visual attachment to the puck is a foundational skill that correlates precisely with goaltending success, and in all other ballistic sports.
Note especially the way Biron tracks the puck all the way into the pocket of his glove: this is textbook visual attachment.
Team coaches should observe that even in an NHL practice, the goalie is only expected to face one shot at a time, with a significant gap between shots. The *only* exception to this is a situation in which the goalie is effectively acting as a shooter-tutor dummy, standing in front of the net largely immobile for the shooters to either hit or shoot around -- a phenomenon visible in most pro pre-game warmups. If you want your goalies to derive any benefit from their time on the ice, ensure that they are able to focus on one play and one puck at a time.
