PRESIDENT MARK™ | ALL AGES | NHL PROS MAKE MISTAKES TOO!™
Every goalie allows goals, including the best in the NHL. What matters next is not pretending the goal never happened but turning attention to the next play. This article combines earlier younger-player reset lessons into one ALL AGES message.
One Goal Does Not Define a Goalie
A goalie might be disappointed, embarrassed or frustrated after conceding. Coaches should acknowledge the moment without making it the player’s identity. NHL goalies face the same reality under much greater scrutiny.
Start With Support
For a newer player who is upset after a goal, offer a brief, calm message: “You’re still our goalie. Get ready for the next puck.” Do not overload the player with an analysis while the game continues. Parents can reinforce effort and enjoyment afterward.
Use a Simple Reset Routine
As players gain experience, encourage one repeatable action: breathe, check positioning, find the puck and prepare for the next opportunity. The purpose is to return attention to what the goalie can control. Different players may find different routines useful.
Advanced Goalies Still Need the Same Message
Older, Junior and College goalies may review the goal with a coach later, distinguish their decision from the result and choose one adjustment. Detailed analysis belongs after the immediate play, not at the cost of the next save.
What Coaches and Parents Should Avoid
- Replaying the mistake repeatedly from the bench or stands.
- Making promises that no more goals will be allowed.
- Equating one result with the player’s value.
- Providing several technical corrections during an emotional moment.
How We Reached the Hockey Answer™
This article consolidates the original goalie recovery lessons about supporting an upset beginner and teaching a short reset routine. The original drafts referenced an NHL playoff example; confirm its statistics and context from an official game report before adding specific figures in publication.
One lesson. One instruction. One takeaway.™ You cannot change the last goal. Prepare for the next puck.

HOW WE REACHED THE HOCKEY ANSWER™
At The Hockey Tournament Resource™, we believe Hockey families, Players, Coaches and Officials deserve more than opinions. They deserve answers supported by research, experience and practical understanding of the game.
Every question begins with something Hockey people genuinely want to know.
OUR RESEARCH PROCESS
- WE FIND REAL QUESTIONS. We investigate what Hockey Players, Parents, Coaches and Officials are asking and searching for.
- WE SEARCH THE WORLD FOR ANSWERS. We examine relevant Hockey knowledge, coaching practices, available research and expert perspectives from around the world.
- WE COMPARE THE EVIDENCE. We look beyond individual opinions, consider different approaches and identify where the strongest available evidence points.
- WE APPLY REAL HOCKEY EXPERIENCE. We consider how the findings apply to actual Hockey situations, including different ages, skill levels and stages of development.
- WE DELIVER A PRACTICAL ANSWER. We explain what our research suggests, why it matters and what Hockey people can do with that information.
We recognize that not every Hockey question has one perfect answer. Age, ability, experience and individual circumstances can change what works best.
Our commitment is to provide thoughtful, practical answers while being clear about what the evidence supports and where uncertainty remains.
