It can be every week, a few session here and there or a one time thing, our schedule is flexible to cater to you or your goalies needs.
Every goalie is different. Some train with us weekly, while others come in periodically to work on specific areas of their game. Whether you’re looking for ongoing development, occasional tune-ups or a single session, we can build training around your goalie’s needs and goals.
Our coaches focus on fundamentals including stance, butterfly technique, pushes, slides, shuffles and T-pushes before progressing into more advanced skills. As goalies develop, sessions can also focus on areas such as puck tracking, positioning, angles, rebound control and game-specific situations while continuing to reinforce the fundamentals that make everything else possible.
At Goalies by Cam we fully believe that footwork, strong skating and the ability to move effortlessly around the crease is key to success. we teach the fundamentals first (butterfly, pushes, slides, shuffles, t-pushes etc) before getting into any of the advanced skills. For more experienced goalies we will focus on tracking, positioning, angles, while still touching up on the basic fundamentals!

“My son’s skills have improved drastically since he started training with Cam. He has a great balance of drill types and he patiently explains the reasoning behind each movement. His positive attitude and real time feedback helps to motivate my son to work his hardest each time he steps onto the ice. I 100% recommend Cam as a goalie coach!”
“My son had gone to a couple of other goalie coaches before but nothing really clicked. Cam has an easy going nature and is a great teacher who explains the drills in an easy to understand manner and he ensures they are being done correctly. I have seen a great deal of improvement in my son’s game since we started working with him. I would recommend Cam to anyone.”
“My daughter managed a 2:1 win over the Burlington and a shutout (2:0) this evening in Brantford. The goalie training is very much to thank for her improved form between the pipes. We will be continuing her development for sure.”
“Cam is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to goalies and the improvement in my son after just a couple of sessions was incredible. Cam keeps the drills moving so there’s lots of reps, and the session is a full hour not 50 mins which feels like a free bonus. My boy enjoys his time and looks forward to going again.”
