Floorball Goaltending: Universal Principles
As I was scouring the internet for new training ideas, like I do, I came across this very well made video on the goaltending position in the sport Floorball. I watched it multiple times. Firstly, I was astounded how well the goaltending principles of angle, depth, squareness, shot-ready positioning and mobility were so similar for ice hockey goaltending and floorball goaltening. Secondly, I thought how much this will be a great teaching tool for ice hockey goalies, as catching or stopping the whiffle style ball with one's hands would require unbelievable hand-eye coordination.
