Coach Joe Bertagna believes it imperative to create and implement practice drills for your goaltender that best simulate the reality, confusion, and chaos of game situations. Bertagna's drills cover a wide range of skill development ranging from fundamental through highly competitive game-like situations including: pre-practice/pre game drills, movement around the crease, move and clear, stop and gather, drills from the corners, dump in and break out, pass from the corner, 1 on 1 attacks, 2 on 1 attacks, lateral motion breakout, rebounding, determining angles, among others. Bertagna shares advice on creating your own drills for game situations and follows with progressive drills that add even more confusion and chaos at game speed! Bertagna offers a helpful selection of "after practice" drills that further assist goaltender development. Bertagna concludes his information-packed presentation with valuable coaching tips including off ice coaching strategies to help your goaltender become more successful.

Through his vast experience, Joe Bertagna has observed that young goaltenders play the position by "reacting", intermediate goaltenders "anticipate", then react, and the advanced goaltender has developed the ability of influencing play through the development of an established "method." The Advanced Goaltender takes you through a methodical process of helping you, the coach, become the catalyst for taking your goaltender beyond reacting to learn and establish a method. Bertagna takes you through game-like situational variations of: odd-man coming into the zone, plays down low, puck behind the net, leaving the net and handling the puck, and breakaways. In each demonstrated situation, Bertagna details what the goalie should see and how the goalie should react and shares the components of how to develop these situations into a method. Bertagna delivers the essence of developing today's goaltender through knowledge, anticipation, decision-making, execution, and having a method.

with former NHL tough guy, Todd "The Animal" Ewen, Lafayette HS (MO) Head Coach
Todd Ewen explains how hockey gear has changed over the years and how that impacts today's player. Through these changes Coach Ewen shows the proper way to fit the gear, buy new gear and shares insider tips and tricks for hockey. He begins by discussing how to properly outfit any player with each piece of gear needed. He also includes a special section on goalie equipment. Ewen covers hockey skate maintenance, which includes sharpening skates, breaking in new skates, skate fitting and skate balance. Additional products discussed include goaltender's neck guard, lexon protector, thigh guards, gloves (both long and short cuff), helmets, masks and sticks. Hockey stick considerations are due to the difference in positions on the ice and should be measured and cut to the appropriate height for each player. This is an excellent overview of the equipment that hockey players are using in hockey today and how knowing and applying this knowledge can make the total hockey experience better for every player and team.
