Goalie Development Program
The development of goalies is crucial for every successful program but is often overlooked. Therefore, during the 2022/2023 season GTHA will be launching our Goalie Development Program. This program is aimed at offering additional training for all goalies within our organization free of charge.
Skill Sessions:
-
On-ice Skill Sessions: 10 (with the goal to increase to 15 over time)
-
Cost: $2,300 (paid for by GTHA). There will be no cost to the player
-
Age Range: 10U-14U. Any older goalies will be encouraged to assist in coaching on the ice.
Mites:
8U/7U:
-
Begins: The 3rd week of the season
-
Frequency: Every two weeks
-
Specifics: All players (8U/7U) interested in playing goalie will attend the goalie development training during the 7U schedule practice time. The 7U coach will slice out a section of the ice to allow for this training session.
-
Following the goalie session, participants will then skate out during the 8U practice to ensure they are getting proper development as a player also.
6U:
-
The program will begin the 4th week.
-
Goalie training sessions will happen every three weeks.
-
The focus should be gaining interest. Need to maximize and prioritize everyone’s basic developmental needs regarding edgework and basic skating ability.
Travel Teams:
Travel teams that do not have a second goalie (typically younger travel teams) are encouraged to allow house goalies to rotate through the travel practices (free of charge). Having a second goalie at every practice is a benefit for our players and it allows for additional development for our house goalies.
