Keep Your Stick Up!

Many goalies tend to lower their stick as soon as a shooter lowers their stick for an underhand shot. The problem is underhand shots usually go low to high. So when the goalie lowers their stick, they leave this high area open. This is exactly what a low to high shooter wants.

Goalies need to stay in their "ready position" at all times with their stick head at shoulder level. The "ready position" is the most effective way to make a save anyways.
