Making the first save is important, but what happens to the puck afterward can be just as important! In this episode of The DIY Goalie Podcast, Nathan discusses rebound control and puck management, including how goalies can think beyond simply stopping the initial shot. From directing rebounds into safer areas to preparing for the next play, we explore why making a save isn't always the end of the job. We also have a quick update about the future release schedule of The DIY Goalie Podcast! Looking for more goalie development resources?
