Hockey Goalie Training Part 2: Power

Continuing from the last article, today I’m exploring power and explosiveness for hockey goalies. Quick, powerful movements define their positioning, from lateral push offs to sudden drops and recoveries. If you’re not training for power, you’re leaving gaps in your game. In this second part of the series, we’ll dive into valuable exercises designed to build the explosiveness and strength needed to react faster, cover more ground, and hold your position under pressure. Let’s break down 5 exercises that will sharpen your reflexes and make you a more dominant presence in the crease.

Goalie Power

Power is the engine behind every explosive movement a goalie makes. Whether it’s pushing off the post for that save, dropping into a butterfly, or popping back up for a second chance stop, every motion relies on a strong foundation of force production. Without proper power training, goalies risk being a step too slow, struggling to maintain positioning, and overloading their joints in high stress situations. Developing power means training the muscles to generate force quickly and efficiently, translating directly to faster reactions, stronger pushes, and gaining a more commanding presence in the crease.
