My son is 10 years old and just completed his first year of being a goalie full time, last year he played goalie half time. He is a very strong skater, has good command of his butterfly and slides, and is developing a good glove hand. His one weak area is his stick. At times sliding trapper side his stick will open up, and sometimes in the butterfly his heel will be on the ice but the toe will be off the ice. He is using a Jr size stick with a 21" paddle. While he doesn't give up alot of bad goals when he does the majority of the time it is because of his stick.
Any tips on how to improve this?
Is this a common problem and does it tend go go away on it's own?
Thanks,
Mike
