This week’s clinic got off to a rocky start. The regular goalie was out of town, but no one at the rink knew to find a replacement and the Zamboni dumped a lake of water on the ice – so we got a late start waiting for the water to freeze and spent half the clinic without a goalie.
Skating drill was forward only, goal-line to blue-line, center, and far blue-line and back. We followed that with end-to-end puck carries, first side to side, then forward and back.
Then shot practice – wrist, snap, and shot. In general, the discernable difference in my attempts at these is the progressively greater degree by which I miss the net.
Once a replacement goalie arrived, we spent the rest of the time on two-man dump recoveries.
