The Pre-Season Goalie program recognizes that the goalie is the only obstacle standing between the puck and the net. Hard work during these sessions while executing goalie drills is the key to develop the skills necessary to succeed when game time rolls around.
Our on ice goalie sessions will feature live shooting using multiple nets, a high teacher to goalie ratio, teaching all aspects of goaltending. The newest goaltending techniques and strategies will be covered as well as improving skating efficiency and speed in and around the nets.
The Goalies are separated into groups of three by age and skill levels and the instruction given to each of the groups varies accordingly. So too do the shots taken and intensity of each session.
We recognise the differences of experience and skills of the goalies and while we don`t take beginners, those born in 2010-13 group will be trained accordingly and any one who is ahead of the others in terms of proficiency can be moved in with the 2007-10 group. This group is expected to have had Game time Goalie experience and the training will be more intense.
