Coaches and Associations Looking for Goalie Development

There are 3 situations that warrant pulling a goalie:

1. They are playing really poorly and you don't want their confidence to be destroyed.
2. The team is playing poorly and you need to shift the momentum and wake them up.
3. Something happens that they are no longer playing at the top of their game; i.e. injury of some sort

I will always encourage having a third goalie on the roster as an emergency role.  I don't recommend having 3 goalies on the ice everyday for practice or even dressing 3 for a game.  It waters down the amount of shots and practice a goalie gets and can really play a negative impact on their mental stability as it pertains to stopping the puck.

Be very careful with this.  Talk to your goalies to understand the type of feedback they can handle first.  Then build into it to support them and motivate them in a way that they will react positively.
