This offseason, when Barry Trotz was brought in to coach the New York Islanders, everyone dreamed of getting Mitch Korn to join him. He didn’t come as the Goalie Coach, instead, Korn oversees all goalie operations.
Right now it’s rookie camp for the Islanders at Northwell Health Ice Camp. Korn was on the ice working with four of the goalies who are in the Islanders system.
Yesterday, Korn focused on how improving on something as minimal as a tenth of a second can help you out immensely. For goalies, a tenth of a second is the difference of an acrobatic save and the puck hitting the back of the net.
