Here’s a clip of longtime student/ instructor and Rapid City Rush legend Danny Battochio coming out of retirement for 1 day to put on a clinic during the Rapid City Rush training camp, he still has it!!! Big thanks to his wife Jami taking the video!!! #NN #redlightstopshere

Continuously when we watch hockey at any level, many goalies are overusing and misusing the RVH. It is a useful tool when using it at the appropriate time but we tend to use it too much. During the drill, the 2nd shot was a walkout from the corner. What stood out was how they were trying different ways to play the walkout, these 2 clips show that you don’t have to always use the RVH. These goalies did a very good job of holding their ground on their feet and waiting the play...er out when walking in. Both goalies showed confidence in staying on their feet and not committing early to the player. They looked big, got wide, had aggressive hands when the player got in close and gave the shooter no net as they were always square. Don’t get caught always going into an RVH, try different things and put different tools in your toolbox to use. #NN #goalie #goalies #goaliecoaches #hockey #icehockey #goaltending #goaltender #goaltenderdevelopment #goalietraining #goaliesaves #goaliedrills #tendy #tendydrills #sudbury #thenorth #OUA #CIS #menshockey #collegehockey #USports #redlightstopshere @goaliecoaches @ccmgoalie @ccmhockey @ccmhockeyontario @no5hole_apparel_ @hockeygoaliedrills @lachance_1 See more

Coach Bruce and coach Alex going over a situation/strategy with the goalies for certain situations during our weekly Sunday skates

We went into the archives today to pull out this video. We wanted to show the importance of learning to read the shot and incorporating simple stand up saves into your game. Simple saves like this and working on them can help simplify your game and make your life easier! make Mackinley in for a pre-tryout tune up. Little warm up drill with 2 shots. For a young peewee goalie he has great movement and has really started to really incorporate standing up more in his game as seen in this 2 shot drill shooting high. We’ve been working a lot with our younger goalies on learning to stand up to make saves, you do not have to drop on every shot, learn to make your job easier! #NN #goalies #goaliecoaches #hockey #goaliesworld #icehockey #tryouts #puttinginthework
