Short butterfly slide

Espoo 8.2.2003

Butterfly slide is extremely effective move. In this video Kari Lehtonen (Jokerit, Helsinki) is working on his short & quick butterfly slide which he uses in close plays, short lateral passes and rebounds.

A few key points to notice:

• Explosive start
• Lead pad goes down to ice as fast as possible
• Body erected to cover maximum amount of the net
• Hands out in front of the body so that goalie can still use them to play and react instead of just blocking the shot
