I was asked by one of the coaches of my son's Mite team if I thought it might be better to take the goalies aside at the begining of practices for a different set of drills than the usual skating drills that the regular skaters do (he dosen't know of any, but is open to suggestion). Currently the practices start out with roughly 20 minutes of pure skating drills. While I love seeing my son trying to outskate everyone while in his goalie pads, I can't help but wonder if there arent some really great skill specific drills he could be doing. The only time he gets to do wind sprints in a game is when he changes nets at the end of a period. So the question is: does anyone know of any good drills that the goalies could run through at the start of a practice that will get the blood pumping and at the same time really work the goalie's skills set? Or I am wrong here, should the goalies be doing the regular skating drills. By the way, I have found this forum to be an invaluable resource. It has brought my perspective on the game to a new level. Thanks!
