    • Goaltending: Freezing the Puck

      When you teach your goalie how to properly freeze the puck, emphasize these two points:

      First Point:

      When the goalie covers the puck with his glove, keep the stick behind the glove as a reinforcement, or a backup.

      That way, when sticks inevitably start whacking the glove, the stick is there to back it up and keep the puck from going past.

      Second Point:

      The second point of emphasis is safety-oriented – and if there's one thing you teach your goalies about freezing the puck, this should be it:

      Goalies need to keep their heads up after freezing the puck. Many times when a goalie freezes the puck, there are a lot of bodies coming toward the goal and there can be collisions.

      If a goalie's head is down in a turtled position, it leaves him vulnerable to head and neck injuries resulting from collision.

      Constantly remind your goalies to keep their heads up when they're down on the ice.
