38 FREE Skating Drills for Goaltenders

Parents, Coaches & Goalies!

If you’re a parent with a child who wants to improve their skating but doesn’t know where to start…If you’re a hockey coach who wants to help your goalies use their edges more efficiently—even if you’ve never played the position…And goalies, if you’re tired of doing the same old drills without seeing real improvement…This post is for you.

In my Skating Playbook, I’ve put together 38 drills that cover crease movements, zone-entry simulations, penalty-kill scenarios, change-of-direction work, breakaway movements, puck handling, shooting, and even some unconventional skating designed to challenge both your mind and body. These drills will help you become a better, more confident skater.

Print them out and keep them in your hockey bag, or take a screenshot and save them on your phone. Try one or two drills at your next practice, or add them to your pre-game warm-up routine.

As always, feel free to reach out with any questions. Good luck!
