Option 2

Goaltenders love participating in drills, for the most part. I'll tell you what they don't like is being a human meat shield for players the second they step into the crease and begin to receive shots from all angles. Off the ice, Beau Kavanagh is a wiz with the tennis ball juggle. He can be seen before games practicing in the workout room against a wall, ensuring his hand eye coordination and awareness is up to snuff before a start. During practice, Beau usually begins with movement drills, moving side to side, post to post, going in and out of the butterfly stance and pushing out on top of the crease to back closer to the goal. This is important to ensure the tendy is properly warm and all equipment feels right. From there we usually move on to simple puck drills, butterfly saves, on-ice rebound control drills, glove and tracking drills and butterfly recoveries. At the end, we'll usually end with a few situational drills that involve puck handling or crazy rebound chances before heading off the ice. Working with the goalie coaches during practice and before games is paramount to ensure success during an actual game.
