This is a discussion on Great Control and Movement by Junior A Goalie Robin Billingham within the Video Training forums, part of the The Clinic category; I'm quite impressed in his movement....
I'm quite impressed in his movement.
amzing how old would this kid be? unreal lateral technique!!
Within the Jr. A leagues, the range in age that you can expect to find is between that of 16-20. Jr. A will be an exciting time for young players. For many it will be the first time they will be away from home for an extended period of time. Fan support, news coverage, the possibility of being traded, having their first stall are all aspects of Jr. A that players will find exciting & challenging.

Absolutely incredible movement, looks perfect to me. I'd have to break it down into super slow-motion to catch any mistakes. Definitely using some of these drills with my sister from now on...

excellent technique. mistakes?...just to be hypertechnical to a ridiculous degree, around 4:30 or so, his catching glove is a little bit closed before the puck arrives. the thing that jumps out at me and what i think is a key thing to take away is how well he skates. what he does during the drill cannot be done unless you're a strong skater. looks great.
His movement is impressive but more impressive is how well he tracks and maintains knowledge of where the puck is at all times allowing him to stay almost perfectly square to the shooter(s). I'd like to see him in a game to see how well he handles having multiple shooters in tight on him.
He has a bit of a 9-iron going most of the time. Bad habit.
