Lesson 49:
Goaltending Stance
view description
- Goaltending Stance
  
  Starting with the stance, this is something that's a constant from mites to the NHL - the correct goalie stance is always the same. Walk your players through this simple step-by-step process to attain the appropriate goalie stance:
  
  First, have your goalie stand in the center of the net and bend his knees as if he is starting to sit in a chair.
  
  Keeping the stick flat on the ice, draw the elbows in slightly to the torso and keep the glove hand out and flat.
  
  Finally, have the goalie extend his hands out slightly in front of him - this makes them appear bigger and creates the illusion for the shooter that there's less net.
  
  Coaching Tip:
  
  Even if you're rotating players through the goalie position on your team, it's really important that you spend some time with your goalie du jour and teach him the correct goalie stance: knees bent, backside down, hands forward and stick on the ice.
