Training Centre
Batters have a batting cage, golfers have the driving range, but where can a hockey goalie go? In practice a goaltender will face 20 to 30 shots in warm up and then maybe another 25 in a scrimmage. Most of these shots are blasted at the net with no thought for the goalie or his/her well being. Our Year Round Goaltender Training Centre is a personalized, intimate environment where you can learn at your own pace with the assistance of an expert instructor.
Over 1500 square feet of shooting space, including our Boni puckshooting machine, a regulation net, posters and diagrams to aid in the finer points of teaching, and much more!
The highest quality Viking Ice synthetic ice surface available (plays like the real thing). This area also includes boards and glass to simulate the real thing! Students wear full gear including skates for the best practice possible.
Private change room, lots of parking, and easy access to our facility. We offer flexible appointment options and our location also features a warmup and excercise area including a slideboard, treadclimber and more.
Our personal training centre is open year round. Whether you’re in need of some winter fine tuning or summer pre-camp rust elimination, we are always available!
Goaltending is the most difficult position in all of sports! It is also the most ignored, overlooked and misunderstood, in regards to training and development of skills. Most coaches do not have the training, knowledge or ice time to develop and work one on one with their goaltender. Most often the goaltender becomes a target for other players during practice. We do not blame the coaches. They are responsible for developing and overseeing an entire team, focusing on one player is an almost impossible task.
The best possible way to properly train goaltending skills and build confidence is in full equipment with real pucks in a game type situation, one on one. We offer that one on one 'real training' at our year round Training Centre. Our programs are custom designed to meet the needs and requirements of each individual.
$39.95 CAD for single session
The 30 minute session is perfect for students and parents who want practical training and less discussion time.
While we continually coach and provide feedback during any training session, a 30 minute session is more geared to the student who needs/wants quick, short instruction and/or direction and repetitive practice. Younger or less experienced students thrive in this environment.
30 minute sessions have been the staple of our training for many years and will likely remain as such. We do not suggest sessions longer than 30 minutes for any student under 11 years of age. Please discuss with us BEFORE you select any program with sessions longer than 30 minutes, if your goalie is younger than 11.

While some of our more skilled or cerebral students, need and want more information and direction, they may not be ready for a full 60 minutes of intense instruction and practical work, so we offer the 45 minute option.
These sessions are a combination of the 30 and 60 minute offerings, with the bulk of the session being spent with quick direction and drilling. Coaching, feedback and direction are provided throughout as in any session, but in more detail then could be offered in a 30 minute session. The final few minutes of the 45 minute session will be spent discussing a 'game plan' and reviewing what was covered - as with any session, this may also involve the parent.

For the more advanced and attentive goalie, 60 minute sessions will involve serious coaching time, practical work and repetitive drilling. Perfect for the serious goalie, who is in good physical shape and focused to learn.
These sessions will involve 'coaching breaks' and in depth discussion time that foster a much more advanced viewpoint of the position and the intricate requirements of proper net protection and awareness. Knowing the 'why' is often as important as the 'how'. These sessions allow us to go into much greater detail when discussing all aspects of the position.
Splitting the 60 minute session between 2 goaltenders is a great way for a team to utilize our expert training for both of their goalies at once. They can alternate in the net, allowing physical recovery. Each goalie will listen and learn while his partner receives training and coaching in the net. This allows both goalies to learn for the full 60 minutes, for the price of 30. Tandem training is very effective when both goalies are of equal skill and ability levels.
