Syracuse Crunch goaltending and video coach David Alexander analyzes manipulating the size of the net around a goaltender in episode 4 of The Science of Hockey presented WonderWorks.
This is hands down one of the best videos I've found on box control to date, period. Love it, nicely done. Hope you don't mind me adding it to a playlist!
WOW! I AM THOROUGHLY FLABBER GASSED! I cant believe my eyes! This is incredible! I've heard so much about angles and depth and squareness but putting it all together like this is just incredible. And to see it from the pucks view is so awesome! Well done video and I will definetly practice this stuff!
Best explained ideas behind positioning technique for goaltending I've seen anywhere. Positioning, skating, and hockey intelligence are the keys to goaltending. Not size and height. I wonder how long it's going to take the NHL Scouts to understand this.
The visuals of the lines represented by the leashes helps make quicker sense of why goalie positioning, squareness, hand/shoulder position, acts in concert to dramatically reduce the square footage of net accessible by the puck.
Great video! I love the use of the retracta-leashes. Do you have any videos showing reference points with depth, angle, and square? My son is a 12U player - how does this change the depth?
I know I'm 4 years late on this but my first 2 kids are players, my third is 7 and entering his 2 full season as a goaltender. As a former skater/shooter I'll be relying on ressources like these to help him through the early stages. Any advise on which vids to show early on vs content to avoid until he's progressed would be greatly appreciated. Also, for those who don't know John speaks from 1st hand experience. As a non 6'2 goalie I still remember shooting on him in tryouts as a terrible experience ;-). Congrats on all the success!
The stick position at the 3:00 minute mark was actually too high and ought to have been lower at his gloves (blocker and catcher). If he would have taken the stick from the where the puck is on the ice and continued to raise it (though the boxes leading up to the goalie), the first point of contact would have been his hands and not his chest/ log.
The difference between a 6'6" and 6'0" is the smaller goalie needs 6" more depth. Smaller goalies need to expand out, bigger goalies need to tighten up (look at the size of his five hole).
@@magictooth2 At the elite level, percentage is everything and a goalie that's 6% bigger (6'0" to 6'6") has a 6% advantage just by existing in the same space. I'm not saying that skill cannot account for that 6% difference, but facts say that the average NHL goaltender is 6'2" and they're not getting shorter...
@@xKrispyx yup true, however there are more levels than elite xD hanging up the skates bcoz one is not a couple inches taller is just a lame excuse for losers ;D

i am a squirt and im going to try this out in three on three

Besides it sounding like we're talking goaltending at a college bar called The Laser Room, this is a very helpful video.

Jim Park touches on this really well in his videos, about the puck's point of view, but this illustrates it just beautifully
This was very helpful, thanks man!!
This was how Patrick roy trained with a ripe.. as stated in his book. Great vid.
This is the best video on positioning and angles on CZcams. I’m 6’ 2” and my positioning, depth and angles are horrible. I let in so many goals
it funny when you mention small goalies cuz i feel it twice as hard to play the position with the equiment changes and Reliance on the butterfly..

this is brilliant. thank you for the upload

Great video. See there's a series but can only find episode 2. Love if you could put the links in or create a list for the series for reference. Thx

this would have been great to see about 6 years ago, when i still could have made my junior team. lol.
So good that I watched it again! Lol

Great video, but doesn't the release of the puck actually occur off the ice, as in knee or hip height, in which case the space is actually larger?
Great video, but hard to hear through distracting background music.
I love this
Should have demo'd the pad stack at the end with the camera view
What happens when you get to a higher level and players are changing the angle of there shot on release
He can block even more if he leans forward and moves his gloves up a bit and front
Who is the goalie?
The stick position at the 3:00 minute mark was actually too high and ought to have been lower at his gloves (blocker and catcher). If he would have taken the stick from the where the puck is on the ice and continued to raise it (though the boxes leading up to the goalie), the first point of contact would have been his hands and not his chest/ log.
he sounds and looks like Jay Baruchel
Go crunch!
*Yea... great concept dude, but your goalie also looks like he's 6'6"... so..........*
Just come out a little more and then you have to move faster

The butterfly refers to a standing position, not a kneeling one.
