I see and hear a lot of stuff about deception from shooters in person and on social media and so much of it doesn’t make sense if you know what goalies are doing. Head fakes don’t work on goalies because goalies aren’t looking at your head.
Goalies are looking primarily at the puck, your stick blade and MAYYYYYBE at your bottom hand, but everything else is in the periphery and it doesn’t come into the equation against a good goalie.
So, if you want to create deception against a goalie, you need to be playing with pressure on your stick, moving the puck and interrupting their pattern recognition.
My goal scoring course will teach you more about this and other secrets of goaltending that you can use to score more goals on any goalie!
