Training
Private Lessons
Each lesson is unique to the goaltender. When a goalie begins private lesson training, the first lesson is designed to immediately understand the goalies’ strengths and weaknesses. This will allow for a progression plan to be developed to maximize the goaltenders’ potential.
Every lesson also includes real-time video analysis. In addition, each goaltender will receive the training session video to review on their own time as well. Private Lesson Training is offered as a 1-on-1, 2-on-1 and 3-to-1 goalie-to-coach ratio for a 50 minute period. Goalies are grouped by age and skill level considerations to maximize the training experience.

Schedule TodayTeam Training
We offer team goaltending training throughout the hockey season for all ages. We’ll work with the team coaching staff to determine a practice plan which allows the goaltender to focus on specific areas of his/her game. This essentially allows the goaltender to have a private lesson experience for a portion of the team practice.
We’ll collaborate with the team coaching staff and manager to schedule the appropriate number of team practices for the season.

Clinics are held during the regular season timeframe to allow goaltenders to have a “tune-up”. Clinics are structured to give a private lesson feel while being on the ice with other goaltenders and coaches. Groups are kept to a maximum 2:1 goalie:coach ratio based on age and skill set. Multiple skills are addressed to make sure goalies are continuing the season with little-to-no bad habits and reinforcing the core fundamentals of the position.
