Elite goalie training to me is AAA peewee and above. These goalies understand that they truly want to get to the next level. What they will learn is that I will take them where they want to get to the next level. The plan is in place for that to happen. The best part of elite training is it will be smaller groups of like minded goalies that only want to move past their peers. I can make that happen. You will have clarity of what’s next in your development. You will learn to trust the process. Consistency, skill, efforts and result based training will be what the goalies will experience. I will show them the pathway to their goals. I will always be able to answer all the questions from the goalies and their parents.

This training is more focused and with smaller groups. This level of training is with goalies that are AAA Bantam and higher. These goalies are already excelling in minor hockey but are looking to make the step to Junior hockey. This training requires and level of fitness and understanding of the game. Multiple reads are now an area of major focus. To be able to identify the next most dangerous player. Speed and strength of the goalie are now added to the development picture. Mobility is needed at this level and to add the mental skills training is needed now as well. It is the goalie coaches responsibility to get the goalie to understand the need for this added development.Step
2Post Integrations, Entries & Exits
Post integrations, entries and exits are now needed to be perfected. Many goalies do not spend the time to understand that the game is being tested much more from below the goal line. Being able to attack these areas are crucial for goalies at this level.Step
6Screens, Tips & Deflections
Screens, tips and deflections are now a part of the game. Elite goalies are now able to understand all of this and they learn to be extremely patient. To let the puck come to them and when it gets there to make the appropriate save selection at a very high rate of speed.Step
7The Goal Of Elite Training
The goal of Elite training is to prepare you for playing pro. There are many levels of pro and for a goaltender, it takes longer to make it than any other position. The goalie coaches job is to gain the confidence of the goalie and to get them to understand that they have to work harder when no one is watching. All of this training is to prepare you to play pro!
