I think it's aways good to see from the puck prospective. I see a lot of goalies keep hands really high trying to protect top net and forgetting about the scoring box. Having try to push hands down quick to make a save that there hands should already be in position and just need minor adjustments. This is about 15 feet out with goalies with toes on top of crease or on there base depth. I use this set up to help goalies with box control and understanding what angle the puck has to come get in the back of net. I use two long dog leashes to help build box and couple marker poles into two by four with screws sticking out of four corners to keep it from moving on the ice and just some flagging to make top. Here is some pictures of good box control and some bad from small goalie and a big. Giving a goalie a visual box seems to really help them in my experience. Really seems to help them get active hands out in front of them. Taking pictures from ice level is also a great tool.

Hello everyone, I am not a goalie myself, but signing up on behalf of my 10 year old Gabe and 8 year old Finn. Both are very new to goaltending, and Gabe in particular is a bit behind compared to others in his goalie group in North Dakota. Just looking for advice on how to help them get up to speed and have fun!

I'm goalie coach. For few years now, work with a wide spread of ages. Played triple A growing up far as I went. In my town seems like only AA goalies and up get any real goalie coaching. The rest get maybe random dad shooting at them. A lot teams have hard time finding goalies that can play higher levels. Is this my town problem or everywhere? A lot of are competitive teams are lucky to have two goalies. A lot only got 1.
