The Face off dots are your friends. Be nice to them, stare at them longely, notice their nice red color. But don't stare too long, every now and then. Notice the distance they are and how far they seem to be and how much you want to skate to them, but don't. Tease them, make them call you, but you already have business to tend to.

Moral Of stupid story I just told: Know the distance between you and your face off circles. (Will come with time and practice) So that whenever you leave the net, no matter what you can find your way home(in net).


I find myself, during games (someone said before) checking with my glove and touching the post. I thought this used to be superstition with goalies I watched on t.v. and stuff, but they are actually checking position.
