Goalie Drill – Hybrid Slide & Stopping puck behind net – Hockey Resource

This drill is designed for goaltenders to practice their hybrid slide as well as stopping the puck behind the net.

The goalie starts from one post and pushes across to stop the puck shot by X₁. He then hybrid slides to stop the shots of X₂ and X₃. X₄ will then shoot a puck around the boards that the goaltender must stop. The drill is then run in reverse.

Variations:

• Have the goalie hybrid slide from X₁ to X₃ and then to X₂ before going to stop the puck behind the net. This changes the direction and distance of the slides increasing difficulty.
• Have the goalie shoot the puck that was stopped behind the net and immediately skate for a desperate save (diving or butterfly slide) from X₂.
