POKECHECK BABY! I WANNA BE THE POKECHECK CHAMPION! THE GOD OF THE POKE! THE SHARK OF POOL HOCKEY! Everyone knows that pokecheck is the most important skill that a goalie can have.

Okay but seriously I think the four skills that are important to a goalie are as follows.

Number one is positioning. None of your other skills really matter if you position poorly. Every position on the ice needs to understand the importance of positioning. But goaltending needs it more so. If you don't position well you leave the entire net open and get scored on. Like I have several times this season.

Number two, rebound control. Blocking a shot is great, blocking a shot and just letting the opponent have the puck again is not.

Number three. Glove! Catching the puck and shutting down the hot offense is great. Beside who doesn't love the flash of some leather.

Number FOUR. Blocker, much like the glove but on the other side.
