Us coaches need to remind ourselves that the strong goalie needs goalie drill time as well as the weak one.
BTW, do you have any links to goalie flexibility information/stretching routines. My 8 yr old wants to "stretch it out dad".

Some links here:
Ignore the ghetto production quality but this lady has some goalie-specific stretches and exercises. The foam roller is now my best friend:

For the OP, decent sizing guides with videos can be found here:

And just so it doesn't get missed, this also used to be just a download link for a goalie training manual written by a former Leafs goalie coach, but it looks like you have to give your email now (it's still a pretty good, lengthy and free guide):

Also, don't buy gear in Calgary. Crazy expensive although with The Goalie Shop closed things have gotten better. With the information available online and ability to simply call better retailers across Canada, you can fit yourself and/or your child accurately. And don't cheap out on a helmet.
