There is a lot of excellent material out there and a lot of incredible teachers. Unfortunately there is also a ton of bad info, advice and video. We review everything and provide our visitors with great content. Feel free to recommend or submit material for inclusion. We support all within the goaltending community who provide concise information to help coaches and goalies alike.

<br style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">I received my new Vaughn GX1 goal skates about 2 months ago and I am thrilled to say "I LOVE THEM". </span><br style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">A little background, I have 'bad feet'. I have worn the same Bauer 5000's for a very long time now. This </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">is because everything else kills my feet. I have had several new models and have not been able to wear anything because they just did not fit, so the old 5000's keep coming back out.<br /><br />The new Vaughn's felt great right out of the box, no heating, just wore them. The only issue was the higher heel collar,, caused a blister above my ankle bone, so I had to deal with that, but he actual boot was comfortable from the first skate in them - which was 4 hours!<br /><br />All skates will offer protection, but these are incredibly lightweight, the cowling works well with my Velocity pads and the wider lace system feels great. But the big factor in buying a goalie skate is always comfort and these have it hands down.<br /><br />Anyone wants to ask me anything specific I am happy to answer.<br /><br />Just to keep everything in the open, Vaughn is a sponsor of our Goalie Schools, however I would never allow that to influence my comments. My track record will prove that, but it's best to keep everything up front.</span></div>

The presenter in this video does an INCREDIBLE job of explaining some really important facts about why these drills are great for goalies and what coaches should be looking to work on in them, but his commentary at 2:03 and in particular from 4:40 to 5:45 are dead on and I could not have said it better. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I strongly encourage coaches, parents and goalies to listen to his advice and comments at these points in the video. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The only issue I have with the game footage is that everything he is talking about…isn't happening in the game situation portions. There is no coaching being done during these segments of play. </div>

<span style="color: red;">Lateral Movement From Butterfly - One of the More Difficult Moves To Learn</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is a good explanation of how to execute this very difficult move for younger goalies to learn. The key is in the skate plant and weight transfer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are some common mistakes and elements of the instruction that are lacking and will help in the teaching. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The goalie must point the skate FORWARD, many goalies turn the skate to point left or right, which cases 'slip out'. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is also important to note that the push skate will almost never be as far inward as the initial stationary position shown in the video, but this is the initial teaching point where you want the goaltender to begin learning from. A simple instruction is "place the skate where your knee was." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Having the goaltender assume the 'loaded' position and then stand up, will reinforce the correct loaded position and help them understand why it is so important to position the skate properly. With younger goalies, I suggest this technique be repeated several times before the butterfly push is attempted and again when the goaltender inevitably starts to slip out as they lose skate position. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The other issue that commonly occurs is when the goalie leans into the direction they will be travelling, which takes pressure off the push skate and causes loss of 'bite into the ice, resulting in a loss of power and/or speed. The skate also often slips out when the weight is transferred too soon or the goaltender leans forward as you will see at 1:38 of the video. </div>

<b><span style="color: red;">Great article on Finnish Goaltending and It's Roots</span></b></h2>
When I visited Finland in the mid 90's, I understood very quickly why they are so successful. Jukka played a huge part in how Puckstoppers and my own coaching style evolved and I will always be thankful for having the opportunity to have learned from the Finns.<br />

<span style="color: red;"><b>Great Advice For Parents</b></span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b style="color: red;">We All Can Use a Little Perspective Sometimes</b></h2>
<br />
This is a good quick read for anyone who has kids.<br />
<br />
Coaching and working with kids for nearly 30 years now (and having 3 of my own) I see these things happen every day and I see the consequences of parents who refuse to parent. <br />
<br />
We have all made these mistakes at one time or another, but if we don't learn from our mistakes and correct them, our kids are the ones who suffer and grow up with a sense of entitlement, disrespect for authority, a lack of self respect, anxiety issues and more.<br />

<span style="color: red;"><b>Simple Movement Drills </b></span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These are simple goaltender drills that need to be done EVERY time you are on the ice. Do not cheat the drills, do not do them half speed or half assed, do it right, do it often and develop your speed AFTER you have the technique perfected. </div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">Staying Square to The Puck</span></span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Good explanation of how to stay square as the play develops down the wing and how the goaltender stays square and moves with the puck while staying at the proper depth. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All of the information is correct and well presented, the only caution I would add is that when the puck gets below the circle as at 2:50, the goaltender should back up to the post to prepare for the inevitable pass across or the player driving behind the goal line. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When practicing this drill, it is also important to immediately gain a solid anchored post position as soon as the pick goes behind the goal line. </div>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Proper VH Positioning </b></span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Price showing the 'Dead Arm' or 'VH' or 'One Leg Up' position (pick a name for it). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">That this is a scripted video and not an actual practice session. This is obvious because Price does a lot of the movement at 1/2 speed and even uses a T Push for the simple movement part of the drill before the pucks are introduced. You can see he even loses his balance at 2:41 when he tries to transition from 'T' to down, this is because he is too upright and wouldn't be using a T push if this were a 'real' situation. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">When the shots start coming, he uses proper technique and does a solid shuffle into the drop - no T PUSH, when it counts, he does it right and there are no holes to shoot for. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This is a solid move to learn, but should only be used when a player cuts very deep (below the circle) or walks out from behind the net. Far too many goalies are using this technique in the wrong situations and the result is a lot of unnecessary goals being scored. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It is also an awkward position and requires a lot of work to learn proper balance and a quick transition into and out of - this means a lot of practice is needed to perfect this technique, Price makes it look easy, but it is not. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It is also very important to note that Price is 6'3" and is using a low glove position, which he CAN get away with because of his height. For goalies who do not have the height to full the net over the shoulders, we recumbent the high glove position to fill this space (see pic below). It is very important to understand exactly what areas you leave open and understand how to close them. This is a stationary position, so you can't have ANY holes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Also worth noting, many goalies are moving away from this technique in favour of the 'Reverse VH' or 'Hip Drop' position…more on that later. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I encourage you to take some time to be grateful for what you have, the people who care about you and the time we have. Show someone... better yet, show EVERYONE that they matter, not just over the next week, but for the rest of your life. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">With each passing year, I become more aware of the true meaning of life and more determined to continue this quest. I am continually grateful and more conscious and comfortable being me, for the incredible experiences I have been so fortunate to live through. I am so grateful for the people in my life, the good and yes, most certainly the bad times which I have learned to embrace as learning experiences. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Each experience, every emotion, all the trials and tribulations have helped to shape my life and I strive to learn from them all. I wouldn’t be who I am without this combination of experiences. What we choose to take from them, the emotions we choose and the reactions we allow ourselves, define who we are. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">This time of year, most of us find a few moments to reflect on our families and our loved ones. We take some time to be with these people and we try to enjoy the holiday season before we forget it all and go back to our day to day routines. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">We stress ourselves to insane levels, getting ready for the ‘big day’. We worry that the food might not be perfect, the gifts not extravagant enough, if the kids will behave appropriately and if everyone will just get along for the holiday season. <br />
<br />
What would happen if we expended this much time and effort into just being attentive and interested in the people in our lives. What if we didn’t worry about the stuff that really doesn’t matter and focused on the things that we will remember forever. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

<span style="color: red;">How To Play Angles and Fill The Net Efficiently</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
An excellent graphic explantation of squareness, depth control, movement, and angles. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The circle movement and comparison to the crease are superb in helping goalies and coaches to understand minimal movement is required to be efficient. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Every coach and goalie can understand this short video and learn from it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A word of caution to younger goalies: The high glove position of the goalie in the video is a style choice to be made as you develop your mature and develop, but you can clearly see it leaves a lot of open net, unnecessarily. I would suggest all younger goalies, NOT adopt this hand position until proficient in net coverage with a fully developed understanding of your own spatial environment. </div>

<span style="color: red;">How To Be 'Square' AND On Angle</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Absolutely the perfect explanation and graphic representation of how to stay square to both the puck and net. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Coaches are always telling the goaltender to "BE SQUARE to the puck", but they seldom, if ever, explain to young goals that 'being square to <i>just</i> the puck' is completely useless, if the goaltender does not understand that that is only HALF the key to playing an angle. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Being square to both the puck and net are BOTH required if the goaltender hopes to stay on angle and 'be square to the puck'</div>

<span style="color: red;">Excellent Lateral Drills, with Focus on Visual Attachment and Reactions</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Excellent visual attachment to the puck and reactions to what happens after the save, this is something most coaches do not require their goalies to do, resulting in lazy drills and poor reaction in games. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Again, simple, very effective and perfectly executed drills. </div>

These guys always produce really solid technical information, that the average minor hockey coach and goaltender can still understand. </div>

<b><span style="color: red;">Lateral Movement Done PROPERLY</span></b></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Far to many coaches are teaching T Pushes on short lateral movements. IMHO this is WRONG! Solid shuffle steps allow for more options and better balance, while T Pushes create an imbalanced slide with no option to butterfly while in motion. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This video demonstrates great technique and simple drills. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The only issue is late in the video when you see Stalock getting a little lazy and leaving his stick behind on the glove saves, resulting in a loss of lateral movement. </div>

This is very well done with good information. Sound isn't the best, but the information is very well done and informative. I have never been a fan of the'VH" and this technique eliminates all the issues associated with it. </div>
