Staff

For any team to be great, you need more than one or two strong members. The Goalcrease coaching staff has depth beyond what any other goalie camp or academy can offer. Our coaches have won championships at all levels, developed thousands of successful goalies, shot millions of pucks, invented thousands of new drills, mastered the art of teaching fundamental skills, and share a passion for teaching the game of hockey.
