LA Kings Director of Goaltending Bill Ranford has a pre or post-practice drill to build confidence between the pipes!

Description

• A forward starts in front of the net to screen the goalie
• Another player shoots from he top of the circle
• Play out rebounds in tight
• Part 2: player returns to net front after rebound, the shooter taps their stick to give the screening player the green light to pop out to the opposite side of the crease
• Player at the top of the circle passes to pop out player for a lateral save
• Part 3: coach rims puck around to back of net, net player collects puck and can wrap around to either side
• Original shooter goes to net for a rebound

Key Points

• Start slow with shots, ensure players are screening goalie
• Be intentional between parts, ensure the goalie is moving side to side properly
