Hockey Goalie Training Part 3: Strength Through Movement

Building off our last focus on power and explosiveness, we’re now shifting to the final piece of the series: developing strength through movement with kettlebell training. Goalies don’t just need raw power, they need to control that power through dynamic, unpredictable movements. Kettlebells are an excellent tool for reinforcing stability, weight transfer, and functional strength that directly translates to in game performance. This final installment includes impactful kettlebell exercises that will build strength in the patterns goalies rely on most, helping to stay strong in every save, push, and recovery.

Goalie Strength Through Movement

Strength through movement is what allows goalies to truly harness their power effectively. It’s not just about producing force, but controlling it through weight transfer, stability, and mobility. Kettlebell movement training is a real game changer that will build dynamic strength that mimics on ice demands. Exercises like kettlebell swings can seem simple but it reinforces explosive hip drive and with progressing variations, lateral push offs will become more powerful. Offset carries and Turkish getups challenge core stability and joint resilience under movement. By training with kettlebells, goalies develop the strength to stay balanced through rapid shifts, absorb force efficiently, and move fluidly in and out of saves, reducing injury risk and improving overall performance. The above 5 exercises progress the foundational movements a goalie needs.
