Exceptionally helpful and thoroughly explained as always. I had a bad habit of leaving my stick behind on hard lateral pushes, cost me a few through the five-hole for sure...
The way you break everything down with straightforward terms is such an underrated skill, it really shows the contrast between a true professional coach and self-labeled coaches who are more concerned with throwing out buzzwords than actual coaching. It makes it so much easier to understand as a viewer and apply that knowledge on the ice. Loved the discussion and hearing Bonesy's perspective of two of my favourite goalies, both of whom are criminally underrated. Can't wait to get my ass kicked next month!
This is a great video that I will have to watch a couple of times to fully absorb the information you are giving us. Incredible how obvious the angle becomes the moment you lay the stick on Dustin's pad to show the trajectory of the puck. Love watching the two of you chat about the high level game of the pros. Brings things into perspective.
Great video! This really showcased Dustin's talents and work ethic. He is a great guy! Steve, you do such a great job coaching your athletes. I really enjoy your coaching style and methods. Thanks for putting these videos out for all us beer league guys to learn from. I really enjoy them!
This is yet another vid I am asking my young goalies to watch. Great stuff. Also, good stuff for others to hear from. Sometimes the other perspective is needed to gain ones own perspective better. Thanks again!
Clear explanation on what I do wrong and I want to Thank You for helping us get better with little tips like turning the shoulder to the right to have the stick in the correct position. I always “swing” my stick into position caused me all kinds of “situations”. Btw Great T-shirt you’re wearing during the interview.
Great video. I’ve already passed it along to my kids (They’re not MY kids). Nice catch on the weak stick work. The use of aerial angle on the blocker side is one of my boy’s weaknesses. He’s a shorter goalie so I hope seeing this video will help boost him because he’s VERY determined.
Amazing video. Loved seeing how well Dustin projects his glove and blocker forward allowing him the best opportunity to track the puck where he needs to be. And in a lot of ways I think he is selling himself short on saying he doesn't have anticipation on his save selection. From what I am seeing, good positioning and footwork on these drills shows how little he needs to make adjustments. But as an good goalie would say, Bonesy included, he has things to improve upon. Always making himself a better goalie today to be an excellent goalie tomorrow. Good on you Keeks and excellent workout and interview Bonesy.
Thanks for this video coach. This is perfect. Den and I was just chatting about this. He is so nervous of getting burned 5 hole he tucks his arms in and gets scorched top shelf. This is a great teaching video.
Great Video!!!! Bonesy did a great job!!!! Also liked the Music !!!! Being Half Bajan...Did you know we had a Cooper Hockey Plant in Barbados back in the Day???
@@FutureProGoaltendingUSA Yes it's was there for over 10 years I met John Cooper in Barbados he knew one of my Dad's friend, and I got to Tour the Plant when I was a teenager in 1974......
Great Video Keeks! love the new format with on ice footage followed by a discussion. Also intro look likes the start of Motoring TV :) Remember the Canadian version "Drivers Seat" with Ted Laturnus and Tony Whitney?
For a guy like this....on the ice daily with an NHL team. Practicing constantly...What would be the chances of a small percent of these goalers signing to the team they serve as EBUGs?
Awesome content. Thank you. I liked the drill with pucks to the stomach and chest to hold. I seem to have pucks bounce off my chest and stomach/pants making a bad rebound. Wondering if it’s my body position/ not sitting back or angling my body forward? Just wondering if you got any advice. Thanks.
Thank you for another great vid! Observation at 16:00 "big guy moving around more, think it should be the other way around". Agree the big lads should have to move less. Lehner do not move so much though, but that is more about that he is 245lbs. My 5 Swedish kronor (a krona not worth much these days...) on this is that 1, the "special forces height 5,9" goalies, do not have the luxury to not be precise. They got to do right all the time. Kicking in open doors, I know you know :D. 2, lads over 190 cm due to of how they are built, have a harder time to be as exact when moving. They just can not move as Saros. A 6,3 goalie moving like Saros would be the greatest goalie of all time. I dont know if it is allow to put in a link. Just erease if not allowed please. It is an 18 year old goalie in the KHL (175 cm 5,9). That level of clean movement demands an elite gymnastic physic. And elite gymnastic rarely are 6,4. Kirill has similar style as the goalie in SHL with the best average the last two seasons before covid, Lassinanti (also 5,9). Thanks for a realy good episode!

i don't play high level but i feel like i make a lot of saves watching the shooters eyes.. do high level goalies have success watching the shooters eyes, the puck, a combination of the two or do they even have time to think about it? excellent video!
Oh to some day be able to push slide half as well as dem bones. Question, coach: the only time I get on the ice is during games. what are some good practice things I can be doing during games that will help improve basic movement skills??
Thank you! Like having a coach on the ice with me. Know what I will be working on today in warmups. If you are ever headed to the west coast US, I will be there!
@@FutureProGoaltendingUSA I did, and it was extremely helpful. I can read most of the shots I face, but the shots that have a quick flick to them, or a push/pull before the release, are the ones that I feel I'm just reacting to; not really reading off the stick and tracking.
Thank you for making these videos. They offer plenty of tips, advice, drills, and solutions to common issues that many of us goalies don't figure out until we see someone else doing it.
I have had a long time habit of dropping when I should not, and I do not read shots very well so I can struggle with knowing when to stay up for shots and will end up deep in my net during a penalty kill or long zone control
Hey keeks why is the modern nhl style called hybrid when almost none of them use any stand up tactics like meaning to kick save, the pad seal where they close their legs when there is a shot going 5 hole, going on 1 knee instead of 2 ect
I have a few players in our community that absolutely eat my lunch. Trying to figure out how to stop them has been my bane. One of them gave me the advice to stay out and challenge more, forcing them to make a move opposed to collapsing and giving them the choices.
Correct advice.... make mental notes of the 4-5 moves they love and look for trigger tell tale signs. And make sure you use fake poke checks and the odd real one to keep them a little less comfortable
Many, Many goalies that get to the NHL and do well early (Hart, Mason) eventually come up with rough patches. Often, because they didn’t have 200 games in the AHL where they figure out how to play well, regardless of up or down trends they struggle in the NHL getting out of funks. It is a rare for a goalie with significant learning time in the AHL unable to have quick bounce backs from slumps..
He is an emergency back up with no fantasy that he will play in the NHL. He is a practice goalie who has a lot of fun and a great kid. Yes you are correct.
But I mean could his pads be flopping around any looser? Like nails on a chalkboard visually. The face of the pads shouldn’t be facing opposite corners. Maybe it’s just me.
'Knowing what I know now' I'd have done better in school, because at 5'9" with no coaching, discernable talent, and no real hockey around...I should have just focused on a career besides trying to chase hockey! :-D
Bonesy is such a likable guy. Seems like quite the genuine and humble fellow.

Have three -four crease mvt drills ready to go in the back of your mind. Each stoppage try a few reps of each pattern.
