Yes, it was 30 years ago today that the U.S. Olympic hockey team stunned the world by beating the Russians in Lake Placid on their way to Olympic gold. I was in college during that game and we watched with great interest the tape delayed replay of the historic game. Do remember what you were doing that day? Click on the video to hear what Olympic goalie Jim Craig remembers about that magical game.

Game performance evaluations popular
One of the new goalie development services we are offering this year is becoming quite popular. The new service is called an individual game performance evaluation.
Here is how it works. I (or someone from my staff) provide a written evaluation of a goalie’s performance in a game situation.
This week, I watched games involving goalies at the U12A and PeeWee B1 level. I took notes throughout the games and then met with the goalies, their parents and coaches afterwards to discuss my observations.
Things I noticed and discussed included: rebound control, overall game awareness (when to go to bench on delayed penalties etc.), glove positioning, stance, following the puck with their eyes and where they positioned themselves in the crease area. These are some small, but important elements of becoming a successful goaltender that are often overlooked by most youth hockey coaches.
I hope to check back with these goalies in about a month to see what improvements have been made.
Send me an e-mail to learn more.
