Kudos to our new goalie coach Arturs Irbe, a man who is very passionate and involved with the art and science of goaltending.
Arturs is deeply involved with creating physical and mental habits for our goaltenders. He is very focused on excellence and on communicating and teaching the ins and outs of this set of crafts to all of the goaltenders in our entire system.
He has been a breath of fresh air for us, highly energetic and global in his approach. He speaks many languages. He has our players’ respect and is a really fun person to be around. Arturs was a great NHL goaltender and he is emerging as a really talented coach now as well.
Check out this article on Japers’ regarding goaltenders and the Olympics. It is a very astute analysis.
