PRIVATE / SEMI-PRIVATE / 2 ON 2 LESSONS

We offer 2 types of lessons at our own training facility, which we own and operate on REAL ice.

1. Private lesson — A private lesson is with 1 goalie and 1 instructor. A goalie can bring a friend or partner and split the cost of the session.

2. 2 on 2 lessons — 2 on 2 lessons are with 2 goalies, a instructor and a Junior or pro shooter. Each goalie works out of own net.

Our unique and innovative style of teaching emphasizes positive reinforce and encouragement in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. With a low student to instructor ratio, experienced instructors and strong fundamental skill development, we emphasize the importance of intense training both mentally and physically.

All lessons are 1 hour in length.

THE CREASE GOALTENDING ACADEMY philosophy is very simple. It is to minimize the number of goals allowed by utilizing strong skating, strong angles, strong technique, and strong rebound control.

Strong Skating
Critical for goaltenders of all levels because it allows them to get into better position earlier, thus being more ready for the shot.

Strong Angles
Critical for goaltenders of all levels because it allows them to make smaller movements and cover more net, thus giving the shooter less net to score.

Strong Technique
Critical for goaltenders of all levels because it allows them to make saves without having pucks go through your body and with better balance, which allows for better recovery.

Strong Rebound Control
Critical for goaltenders of all levels because it allows them to make the initial save only and not have to worry about second and third opportunities as often as a goalie with poor rebound control.

OUR MISSION
At THE CREASE GOALTENDING ACADEMY (TCGA) we do not try to change a goalies style, we use a multi dimensional approach to goaltending; consider it a fusion of old school fundamentals combined with new age movements. Our instructors will systematically break down each skill you learn into components and follow this by proper demonstration, proper instruction and repetition. Our unique and innovative style of teaching emphasizes positive reinforce and encouragement in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. After getting down the foundation of goaltending we will examine and develop your strengths and weaknesses, we then will ensure you that we will push your goaltender to reach their peak performance level.
