Skating is the most important skill a goalie has. A goalie who moves well gets set in time, stays square to the puck, and is ready before the shot comes.
Shield Power Skating (PS) builds that movement. Every session works on:
- Skating β strong, efficient movement in and around the crease
- Edge work β sharp, controlled turns, pushes and stops
- Balance β staying steady and in control through every movement
- Puck handling β confidence playing the puck
- Fun skating β creative drills that keep goalies wanting to work
Why it matters at U18
At U18 the game is at its fastest before junior and college hockey. Goalies at this level are judged on how efficiently they move, how quickly they recover, and how early they are set. Sharp edges and clean skating are what separate goalies ready for the next level.

How a session runs
Early morning sessions are skating and edge work built for goalies, with puck handling worked in. The focus stays on movement, balance and control, so goalies start the day with clean habits they take straight into their own team practices.
Small groups and at least two coaches mean your goalie gets corrected in the moment instead of waiting in a line. We explain what to do and why it works, so the habit holds when they go back to their own team.
