Fall-Winter 2020

Facing game situations, improving in-crease movement, and receiving professional, knowledgeable goalie coaching is essential to your child’s development as a goaltender.  Although the upcoming season presents various challenges, we’ve got your goaltender’s on-ice development covered.

Used for Target Practice?

Let’s face it, being a goalie is a tough job.  But being a shooter tutor for the team during skills development sessions with no time to set up, track pucks, react or rest, can actually slow a goaltender’s development throughout a season.  Simply trying to “keep up” may only create poor habits unless given opportunities to receive professional and knowledgeable feedback during game situation exercises, while moving at the speed and flow of a game.  Oh, and it’s no fun to get lit up in practice.

We recognize the need for more goaltender-specific training options.  This September through December, you can expect small group on-ice development sessions which blanket all areas your goaltender’s development, reasonable prices, and serious attention to maintaining the safety of all participants by following the protocols in place due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
