HP
HP represents the third step in our teaching progression. This program works towards honing tactical and transitional skills and expediting a goaltender’s physiological and psychological resource development. Goaltenders are expected to have outstanding technical skill and be in superior athletic condition prior to registering for this program.
On-ice, athletes will embark on a detailed analysis of shot preparation and positional play to see how it can be properly integrated into their style of goaltending. It is here that goaltenders will begin to calibrate their “up” game with their “down” game. This is done by integrating highly efficient down mobility into their game. These modern methodologies represent the forefront of goaltender development. Dynamic post-save response dovetails with the goalie’s primary objective which is to occupy space and then be reactive, as required, off this core coverage. Offensive and defensive strategies will be reviewed to determine how to play a greater role in team transition while tactically, creative stick use is established.
Finally, this program will interface with the participant’s physical and mental preparation for upcoming training camps and the season.
Like ADV, the HP curriculum is available across the full gamut of GDI programming.
