Pro Drills: Jonathan Bernier and Marco Marciano
- Track down on the puck first — this initiates proper top-down rotation into the new angle before the lateral push begins.
- Shoulders and hands must move together as one piece before the push across even starts.
- Use pucks as markers on the ice to give goalies a clear focal point for each starting position in movement drills.
- Adding a shot at the end of a movement drill raises the stakes for quality positioning — arriving set and square matters more, not less.
- Marciano's cue 'see the logo' is a reliable squareness check that applies across all crease movement patterns.
The last time we checked in with Detroit Red Wings goalie Jonathan Bernier and his long-time offseason coach, Marco Marciano, the only pucks on the ice were being used as markers for a skating drill at center ice, and the focus was entirely on perfecting his movements.
Bernier and Marciano are back for a third entry into the InGoal Premium Pro Drills library, and this time they added some shots to the mix, but that doesn’t mean the focus has changed.
