Hockey goalies are a little out there. Correction, they're actually a lot out there. They have a reputation for being odd, superstitious characters, who for some strange reason, habitually throw themselves in front of rock-hard-pucks traveling around 100 mph. Goaltending has been called the hardest position to play in all of professional sports, and those who call it that, aren't far off the mark.
So just imagine being able to understand, connect and communicate with these strange creatures. Imagine speaking their language and actually getting through to them. Well that's exactly what Glen Hanlon did in our recent goaltending workshop. Prior to the sessions, our two goalies had given up a combined 12 goals in three games. Since then, our goals against dropped to just two in two games, (with Arturs posting his seventh shutout of the season). From all indications, the high school sweetie was badly wanted at the dance.
VIDEO: The Game Winning Goal!!
Game Winning Goal Description: Sergio Momesso hops off the bench and hits Randy Wood with a nice shoulder-on-shoulder check, the heavy contact dislodges the puck. Sergio picks it up quickly and makes a soft pass to Cam Neely at the red line. Neely moves in on the defense and makes a sweet outside/inside move before firing a bullet to the far corner!
