When it comes to traffic play, goalies must battle hard to see the puck. It is important for goalies to find the puck through a screen.
The most efficient ways are to look around and over opposing players. In this drill, goalies will have to track the puck while moving and a screen set up at the top of the crease.
Description
- X1 starts in front and screens the goalie.
- X2 passes cross-ice to X3, X3 passes to X4 who shoots on net.
- Goalie must find and follow the puck. X2 crashes the net after the initial pass and goes for rebound.
Key Points
- Battle to look for the puck while moving.
- Look over top and around player.
- Butterfly save will be best choice with a tight compact position.
