About
With (2) ice sessions per day coupled with classroom instruction; professional video technique analysis and off – ice training sessions, this camp is designed to have you mentally & physically prepared for the up & coming season.

Classroom Sessions
Classroom sessions will improve the mental and emotional part of each goaltender’s game.  Sessions include: NHL game situation and goalie analysis, game management strategies, mental visualization techniques, and nutritional/training needs.  There will also be discussions on the best avenues to advance through the hockey ranks.

Edgework and Fundamental Save Session
Proper repetition will perfect technique to improve quickness and efficiency to build a highly mobile and fundamentally sound goaltender. This session will cover goalie specific movements as well as fundamental and advanced save techniques.
The following skills will be covered: movement; puck tracking; all of the variations of the butterfly and butterfly slide; moving while down, post seals, leans, rebound control, shifts, and handling the puck.
Several pieces of on-ice training equipment will be used: Mirrors, High Shot Screen Boards, Deflection Boards, mini, colored, and white pucks.

Game Situation Session
This clinic will cover common situations that a goaltender will face in a game.   The following situations will be covered: rush plays, pass outs, plays around the net; bad angle shots, point/screen shots, lateral feeds, and breakaways. Rebound control will be emphasized for all situations. Shooters will shoot according to age and skill.

VIDEO ANALYSIS (optional)
Goaltenders’ will be filmed every day of camp.  We will take this video and add voiceover and drawing tools to provide feedback using “coaches eye” technology.  The critiqued video will then be emailed back to you each day.  Strengths and weaknesses will be identified while we provide tips on how to become a better goaltender.
