NHL GOALIE COACH | PRO TIP: MIDDLE FIRST??

We must always challenge and test conventional wisdom and goaltending is no different. If you believe in critical thinking and love goaltending, this quick pro tip is for you. Goalies are often taught the “middle first” mindset.

In simple terms, it means the goaltender should position themselves in the middle of the angle and THEN challenge in almost an arc shaped path.

Frankly, it has its place but shouldn’t be used in EVERY positional situation. We illustrate a PRO TIP, someone who hasn’t played at the highest levels may not know.

Check out this “insider” tip.
