Stop It Goaltending
Ultimate Spring Training
Spring Training is a goalie specific on and off-ice training program designed to jump start your off-season. Both on and off-ice sessions will be held at the PAD in Woburn, MA. Unleashed Fitness (UFIT) certified strength coaches Dan Newton and Kelly Willing will push goalies physical limits and our MST G-Lab will allow goalies to improve their processing speed, ability to track objects, improve spatial awareness and body control. Goalies will do exercises that will decrease over sliding, improve angles, quiet the glove and blocker and make limb movements more precise. Train like a goalie off the ice and watch it translate to more saves on the ice.

Remember when teachers complained about digital watches? Turns out they were onto something
Teddy Stanowski’s 6th grade teacher once said digital watches would hurt kids` mental development. They laughed then, but consider this:
Reading an analog clock FORCES your brain to think differently—just like how student athletes need autonomy to develop fully.
Whether it`s hockey or any sport, creating new neural pathways matters. Let them figure things out (without burning down the house!)
What old-school skill do you think today`s athletes are missing? Drop it below!

What separates good goalies from GREAT ones? Two words: Consistent. Development.
Our Pro Goalie Development Program (PGD) is where motivated goaltenders transform their game through 8 weeks of intense, focused training. Two 80-minute sessions weekly on FULL ICE with immediate video feedback that shows you exactly what needs improvement.
We`ve been crafting elite goalies for over 20 years - including 30+ NHL draft picks!
Summer is coming fast. Secure your spot and train like the elite. Registration won`t stay open forever!

Elite goalies have one secret weapon: EMOTIONAL CONTROL
Without it, consistency is impossible. When emotions take over, your attitude, energy, and focus all suffer.
What makes the difference? Staying calm and present, not letting outside factors affect your performance between the pipes.
What situation has your emotional control been tested the most? Learn more goalie tips this week on SIG U! LINK IN BIO!

Digital planning might be HOLDING you back... here`s why
Research shows something fascinating: physically writing out plans creates stronger neural pathways than typing.
It`s not just about organization—it`s about developing those fine motor skills many young athletes are missing.
Schools are even bringing back handwritten planning during homeroom to rebuild this lost skill!
What do you use—pen and paper or digital planning? Comment below!

"But what`s my job on a 2-on-1?" It`s simpler than you think!
Some goalies overthink these situations and try to play both shooter AND passer. BIG mistake.
Remember this: On most 2-on-1s, YOUR responsibility is solely the SHOOTER. Trust your D-man and back checker to disrupt the passing lane.
Watch this textbook example - squared up, confident, and a strong glove save with zero hesitation. No unnecessary movement trying to anticipate a pass.

There`s NO SUCH THING as being "too out of position" with these two rules!
Sorokin shows elite anticipation by:
✅ Recognizing the backdoor threat
✅ Using post leverage instead of rushing
✅ Getting early eyes on the puck
His secret? Two non-negotiable rules:
1️⃣ Seal the 5-hole first
2️⃣ Project hand over puck

The ONE scheduling habit that transforms average players into elite performers
Time blocking isn`t just about organizing—it`s about MATURING as an athlete.
When young goalies block time for:
1️⃣ Training sessions
2️⃣ School commitments
3️⃣ Recovery
4️⃣ Nutrition
5️⃣ Quality social time (not doom scrolling!)
They develop the discipline that separates them from the competition.
Save this post if you`re committed to helping your athlete build championship-level habits off the ice!

Save percentage and GAA don`t tell the whole story.
That`s why we built SIG Game Day - using advanced analytics to evaluate goalies objectively.
But physical training isn`t enough either...
That`s where Stop It Goaltending U comes in - because elite goalies need elite IQ. Train your mind on your own time to maximize your potential between the pipes.
The best goalies do the work when no one`s watching. Are you?
Double tap if you believe mental game equates to physical game.

The ONE thing some goalies miss on 3-on-1 rushes? BACK PRESSURE!
When you see three attackers coming at you, don`t panic! Look for what`s BEHIND them.
In this case, Sorokin reads the situation perfectly - noticing the defensive back pressure limiting pass options. With three defenders clustering back, he knows the weak-side passing option becomes inefficient.
Result? He squares up confidently to the shooter instead of overplaying the pass. Clean save.
