The Vancouver Canucks have five goalies at their summer development camp, including Aku Koskenvuo and Arturs Silovs.
“Length” is a word the veteran coach has long used to described what he looks for in a goaltender — and that doesn’t just mean tall.
Length, he explained, is more than being big in frame. You must be a top competitor, you must have elasticity in your movements, you have to be quick. Getting back to in-person coaching with his young prospects is a big deal for Clark. Most of his season is taken up working with the organization’s top goalies, but working with young goalies is a throwback to how he first started as a coach.
“I’m really starting to understand what he means, and I feel like every day I’m starting to notice stuff I can work on,” he said.In preparing for development camp, and then moving to Harvard University next fall, Koskenvuo has been working with a fellow Finn, Marko Torenius. Torenius had been the goalie coach for SKA St. Petersburg for the past decade, but isn’t returning to the KHL next season.“It was Ian who connected us.
“They ask about some things that I do, maybe it’s a couple of routines. lt’s always good to ask older guys what they do,” he said.
