InGoal Magazine spent a morning with San Jose Sharks goalie coach Thomas Speer and his team at Pacific Coast Goaltending at their recent camp in Seattle for what turned into a three-drill session focused on being able to better manage breakaways and shootouts.
The focus for this session was born out of goalies at the camp struggling during a shootout competition in the second on-ice session the previous afternoon. It started with Speer, who has been with the Sharks for three seasons and recently was part of the American team that won gold at the World Championships for the first time since 1933, walking the kids through his keys to managing breakaways before rotating through three different stations, each with a different key and focal point related to the skills required.
