​
Most practices cause or create bad habits for goalies. In fact, a big part of a practice plan can be counterproductive, leaving the goalie to over-challenge, stay on his feet more, or even get puck shy and start to be afraid of the puck.

The majority of many practices are spent on line rushes, resulting in shots being taken in close with no pressure to shoot or defenders to defend. This results in wave after wave of players skating in with passing options and plenty of time to dish or hold and shoot from close range.
​
In practice, even drills that have more structure and a game-like scenario still lack the pressures of a game or contact of another player, forcing the decision making to quicker. A goaltender will start to cheat and react in a way that is counterproductive to how they will play in a game. And, for a backup goalie, this can also be way more challenging to keep good habits, structure, and confidence.
​
CoachThem is helping you with goalie practice planning and goalie drills. As an ex-goalie of the NHL and current NHL goalie coach, I know the importance and the value of a good drill that makes sense for goalies to make sure that they can stay at the top of their game and perform at their best. Drills can be done at the start and after practice to help keep the structure and balance that your goaltender needs to stay on top of their game.
