Goalies are strongly encouraged to attend. These sessions help train players through repetition, and develop muscle memory, in order to create good habits. I strongly believe skating is crucial to a goaltender's success.
Skating development is an essential block for a player’s progress. Proper skating technique expands variety and technical level of options that player can perform in certain game situation. Player improvement is achieved by developing next basic components: stance, stride mechanic, edge control, lateral movement, weight transfer & shifting.
