In order of importance. For me
No 1: Reflexes (hand eye cord. is included here)
No 2: Agility
No 3: Anticipation
No 4: Technique
No 5: Recovery
MVP: Setting up traps instead of chasing the play.
I want to know what you guys top 5 is
#1. Mental toughness, winner attitude.
#2. Technique
#3. Reflexes
#4. Vision
#5. Athleticism
Basically, you think like a loser, you are one and you’ve already lost the game before putting the equipment on.
Good technique will compensate for almost every other physical trait.
Reflexes are important as end of the day, handling shots coming at you 100mph is going to need speed.
Vision is important as all the reflexes in the world won’t help you if you can’t see plays developing and anticipate correctly.
Athleticism is the final saving grace for goalies caught out of position or need to get that big push to go post to post.
