Pro Drills with Devon Levi

The last entry into our Pro Drills series with Devon Levi and his long-time Montreal-based goalie coach, Marco Raimondo, started with Levi on his knees and the coach passing to one-timer options on either side. As we continue with Part 2, Levi gets to start from his skates and the shooters are on their strong side instead of their one-timer sides.

That combination gives Levi more time, not only because he is starting from his skates rather than with a recovery out of the butterfly, but also because the passes have to travel further across the bodies of the shooter and release inherently takes a little longer.

The focus, however, does not change.

“It’s a little bit more time,” Raimondo said, “But we still want to be early, still want to keep pushing our pace, being there as quick as we possibly can, in one piece and quiet.”
