Answer is quite simple:

1) More goalie coaches

2) Association has effective basic level goalie coaches training/education program

3) 1+2=more structured training at early stage of goalies careers and focus on specialized training.

That's basically it. Guys like Beaver are good examples of the dedicated goalie coaches working with young goalies and giving them qualified and well structured instruction on almost daily basis.
