Thank you for the insight, I've probably just been away from this side of the game to really see the stagnation in goaltending. I've been watching equipment evolve over the last 4-5 years wanting to get back out on the ice. The more time I spend back in the game I'm sure I will pick up on the change in development.

I do see the goalies being neglected in practice, I'm teaching my kids (mostly U10) how I got started. We're just focusing on basic skating skills on public skates. Just get them moving in the gear, they don't get any work on this stuff in practices and are ignored for a good portion of their practice.

I'm trying to figure out what I should be doing for them, people want me to work on just butterfly slides and how to stop the Michigan... Not the foundation of a goaltender, tpushes shuffles and getting up and down.

I wonder if I am doing it wrong sometimes.
