Drill of the Month - May

Back Door Play

Back Door Plays are seen mostly while short handed. The key for these is recognizing the back door threat and being strong enough to get there. When the pass is made made sure you get square to the shooter and preferably get there with a butterfly slide. The shooter can rotate between 1 and 2 to change the length the goalie must cover.

Make sure you do not lead with your butt!!!

Our Students Say:

I thought I would take a moment to provide some feedback about your camp. As you are aware, my son attended two weeks ending August 4 2006. I can say without hesitation that Adam has increased his ability in all aspects of the goalie position more in two weeks than he did in all of his last season. I noticed a marked difference in his ability to move more fluidly and huge difference in his positioning. The off-ice portion gave him increased agility and conditioning he wouldn't have gained had he not attended the camp. Finally, Adam's love of the game and his confidence have both shown a dramatic increase.

Thank you for providing an excellent experience for my son and giving him the tools to enjoy the game.

P.S. I wish to commend the instructors for their dedication and ability as well. My son has attended other camps and I found the instructors to be there for the pay cheque or their own development ahead of the campers.
