Hockey Goalie Study: "Quiet Eye" Is Key to Success

Researchers at the University of Calgary just may have found the secret to becoming a successful hockey goalie. The term "Quiet Eye" was given to the way elite goalies focus their eyes in order to make a save. They found that goalies who rest their gaze directly on the puck and shooter’s stick for a full second before the shot is released, make the save over 75 percent of the time.

Hockey is a fast, dangerous sport, and not without injuries. Some of the most common hockey injuries can be prevented with protective equipment, such as mouth guards, and adequate conditioning.
