Goalie Camp

Our Goalie Camp groups are divided into two groups based on age and ability. The Goalie program will consist of two on-ice sessions, and two off-ice conditioning and skill development sessions. Seminars will guide goalies through the ever-evolving strategies and tactics of the position.  Mentored by Ian Taylor, the goaltending coach of Roberto Luongo and the Vancouver Canucks, our staff from GDI have made their mark on goaltending development in Western Canada.  Goalies that come to our camp get better.
