Kick It Up A Notch with
Brad Morgan’s…
TOP NOTCH GOALTENDER TRAINING & CONSULTING
 SPONSORED BY:
PHILIOSOPHY:
To offer training and
consultation that builds off a solid fundamental foundation and challenges each
goaltender to achieve his/her “personal best” through cutting edge international
instruction. Top Notch focuses on the modern fundamentals of goaltending
stressing movement and flow from one save to the next. I emphasize the economy
of motion and the importance of getting in front of the puck (blocking) as
opposed to reaching to make a save.
Steering with
the Stick & Gloves
Goalies today must
constantly focus on the puck to properly “track” it. As the puck moves, the
head should turn in unison with the stick (3rd eye) and gloves, this
forces the rest of the body to follow. This enables a goalie to remain square
to the puck at all times, and decreasing the amount of movement necessary to
make a save.
Active Hands
In an efficient stance,
goaltenders should keep their elbows tight to their sides with their gloves out
in front. Keeping the gloves out front allows for less visible net to the
shooter, reduces glove movement due to the angle of flight, limits holes, and
allows the goalie to see the puck when they catch it.
Driving with the
Legs & Hips
Goaltenders movements
(drives) must be explosive. A goalies ability to stop and start effectively
with their legs and hips sets them up for their next move.
