Pro-Drills: Jonathan Bernier & Marco Marciano – Keys to Efficient Movement

From Carey Price and Carter Hart stressing crease movement patterns as a foundation of their games, to Price imitating a pad save to trigger recovery movements because it makes them more realistic, to the simple three-pattern warm-up used by Connor Hellebuyck and Laurent Brossoit at the NET360 Goalie Camp, to our first Pro Drills article featuring Jonathan Bernier and his long-time coach Marco Marciano, the importance of quality movement is a constant.
