⚠️Back by popular demand, we are announcing two fall camps for the month of September in order to get you all ready for tryouts and the up and coming hockey season. Fall camp # 1 will be taking place in Montague at the Cavendish Farms Wellness Centre on September 4th and 5th. Each session will be 90 minutes long. September 4th will be at 5:00- 6:30 pm. September 5th will be 4:20-5:50pm. This camp will fill up quick as we are only taking one group from U9-U15 age groups. Total cost of this camp is 149$ plus tax.

Fall Camp #2 will take place at the Pownal Sports Centre on September 16,17 and 18.
This camp will be two separate groups.
Group A will be U9 and U11 aged goalies together and then Group B will be U13 and 15 aged goalies together.
Group A ice times each evening will be 6:00-7:15 and Group B will be 7:25-8:40.

To avoid confusion please state the goalies name, birth year and the desired camp that you would like to participate in.
Thank you again for an amazing summer camp season and now let’s put the finishes touches on things before the season begins!

This was one great way to finish our summer as this was two groups of respectful and driven goalies who learned, had fun and improved on and off the ice which is our goal each time a goalie comes to our camps. Thank you to all who were a part of our summer camps! From our staff, shooters, rink staff, goalies and parents, we cannot thank you enough! ⚠️ Keep an eye out tomorrow for some fall camp announcements!! ⚠️

Last week was fun! Similarly to the first camp this was one awesome group of kids who worked hard, battled and did it with a smile on their face.
They learned what is so great about being a goaltender and they also got themselves ready for any potential adversity that could get in their way.
One more camp to go starting on Monday, let’s keep getting better!

Well what a great way to start the summer camp season with 2 awesome groups of goalies who were there to learn, stop pucks and embrace the joy that the position brings.
Thank you to one unreal staff, awesome shooters, Pownal sports centre staff, and all the goalies and families who brought great enthusiasm to the rink each day.
Back at it on Monday!!

Proud of our man Matt MacEwen who continues to put in the work and develop into an elite goalie coach. His enthusiasm , passion and work ethic are why we are so grateful for him!

Loved having our certified skills coaches and goalie coaches in Calgary for their annual seminars! 🏒

We have partnered with an amazing product called Vizual Edge. An awesome training aid that helps all goalies train the most important asset that they have for our position. We train all our muscles in our body so let’s not forget to train our eyes.
This will help you pick up pucks through traffic, depth perception and all around sharpness and reactions visually.
All you need is a computer or iPad or iPhone and they will send you the 3D glasses in the mail in order to execute the training.
They are offering us a great Black Friday discount right now.
Our Jets goalie prospects use this as part of their training as do many other NHL teams so don’t hesitate to start your training now!
