Lateral Movement Done PROPERLY

Far to many coaches are teaching T Pushes on short lateral movements. IMHO this is WRONG! Solid shuffle steps allow for more options and better balance, while T Pushes create an imbalanced slide with no option to butterfly while in motion. 

This video demonstrates great technique and simple drills. 

The only issue is late in the video when you see Stalock getting a little lazy and leaving his stick behind on the glove saves, resulting in a loss of lateral movement.

These guys always produce really solid technical information, that the average minor hockey coach and goaltender can still understand.
