Evaluation Drills

Here are some drills that you can use at your evaluation/tryouts. These drills are designed to show skating ability, puck handling and shooting skills. They also give you a chance to see how goaltenders play their angles along with their ability to move in the crease.

If you have time to evaluate goaltenders on their own then you should incorporate some of the drills in the goaltender section of this website.
