STYLE SELECTION
There are 30 starting goaltenders in the NHL and none of them use the exact same save selection in all situations. The Goalie Club acknowledges that there is no 'one style fits all' solution to goaltending and approaches teaching each goaltender with that thinking. A key element to TGC camps and clinics is the teaching of theory during our off-ice program. Goaltenders discuss the varying styles used by NHL goaltenders and the adjustments that are made within those styles. They are then encouraged to experiment with these styles on the ice to find the techniques that suit them best. This leaves goaltenders comfortable and confident with the style that they are taught and approach the game with.
Style is about getting it done while making it look easy!
