A lot of the support for the goalie comes in the locker room before we even take the ice for the game. Goalies are known for being "out there" and pretty eclectic, so we know on game day he wants to be quiet and dialed into the game & all the way through preparation. If he's showing up as a social butterfly and just not his normal self, we kind of push him back into his corner knowing that's exactly what he needs to stay 'in the zone' for the game. Warm-ups are pretty simple, just casually launching pucks into the pads instead of actually trying to score; gives him a bit of confidence heading into actual game play. After letting in a goal we've found out the best thing to do is just give him a tap on the pads & let him work through it; we aren't goalies, only he is going to know what to fix to ensure it doesn't keep happening.
