There's 2 rinks within an hour of where I live. Calgary happens to be just over an hour away depending on construction and I don't believe there's any schools in Calgary.

In regards to the whole pop-up thing...how relivant is it to game situations? Rarely do I have a rebound that goes directly straight in front of me, usually its to one side or the other thus me needing to push with the corect leg (far leg) in either a BFslide or recovery T-push.
Does anyone feel the same, or am I wrong to assume it isn't as important as some think? I agree its a good drill for leg conditioning, endurance, and balance.
Think about this scenario... You go down to make a butterfly blocking save, and the player ends up fanning on it. You're now in a down position, he passes back, to the point directly behind him. You're now in a down position, when you need to be up. Pop up. You're not always moving side to side for a Butterfly recovery.

Thats a good point.
But if the shooter is that close that I have automatically droped into a BF, than he is usually close enough to poke check. Either way thats a good point that I hadn't initially thought of.
I still work on this drill when I get the chance.
Yeah it's not a regular use thing, but it always helps to have the tool in your tool belt, right?Originally Posted by snowdragon3

Ive just built and installed higher knee lifts in my Eagles, as my old ones have been very worn down. I think having higher lift would help with quicker pop-ups.
There is one within an hour of me, but its only once a year and ridiculously expensive! I just used Public Skate for practise. We have a section padded off for drop in shinny, all the local hockey rats go to it, so you actually get some good practise when these kids are on the ice!
I have tried the pop ups, but like Tflem says its easier on one good leg and quicker for me this way right now, plus eliminates alot of fatigue and strees on my knees and legs.
The sliding I am getting better at, but still have difficulties and doing it at speed ie cross ice pass, now and then I will make save but more often than not I just dont get across in time.
Pop-ups are great! If the rebound doesn't go out to the side at all, I use pop-ups. I play more of a hybrid style though. To practice pop-ups in warm-up if that's all the time you have, here's a good trick that works. In the slapshot drill (Where the players form a have circle around you and take shots), on the first shooter, make the save, pop-up, then T-push into position to the next shooter. This will help with your movement while standing. Do a round of that, then do a round of slides.
