Hey guys, I just thought I'd explain a few things to you.
Hybrid from back in the days and today's hybrid isn't the same at all.
In the days, a hybrid goalie was someone who would stay up on the first shot, and then go down on the rebound. That was the philosophy back then and there was nothing more to it.
Hybrid today means REACTING to the shots. Which means, using the blocking butterfly when the puck is in the blocking zone. The reacting butterfly when the shots are coming from the reacting zone usually lower than your waist. Standing up when the shots are from the reacting zone and very high.
Blocking zone: Close range shots
Reacting zone: Shots coming from the H marks ans higher
Blocking Butterfly: Keeping the gloves low and elbows in on the shot (no reacting at all)
Reacting Butterfly: Keeping the gloves high in order to make a proper save
