It opens WhatsApp with your message ready. Tell us the goalie's age and we'll set a time fast.
Goaltending is its own craft, so we coach it as one. Every session targets the skills that actually stop pucks — built up at the right pace for the goalie's age and level.
A balanced, repeatable stance and reading the play so you're square to the shooter and set before the shot — the foundation everything else is built on.
Cutting down the shooter's net by playing the right angle and managing depth in and out of the crease, so you take away the puck without overcommitting.
A clean butterfly drop to seal the ice low, then fast recovery and pushes to get back up and across for the next shot.
Directing pucks to safe areas, smothering when needed and steering shots to the corners instead of back into the slot.
Following the puck all the way into the body, reading shots and screens, and keeping your eyes locked through traffic and deflections.
Staying calm under pressure, resetting after a goal and building the focus and confidence that separates good goalies from great ones.
Goaltending is a position anyone can grow into. Whether your child wants to try the pads for the first time or you're an adult netminder chasing the next level, we coach goalies across every age and ability — beginners absolutely welcome.
It takes one message. Here's the whole thing.
Send the goalie's age and any experience — it goes straight to our coaches, who know the position inside out.
We pair you with the right goalie session for the age and level, and confirm a time on our two sheets of ice.
Grab rental gear if you need it and get on the ice — your first goalie session is free, with no commitment.
Hooked on the position? Keep training year-round with the Kids Academy or adult sessions and develop into a real netminder.
Goalie kit is bulky and expensive, so we make it easy to start. Rental gear is available to try the position, and there's a pro-shop on site when you're ready for your own.
Try goaltending without buying a full kit — borrow gear and see if the crease is for you before you invest.
Already a goalie? Bring your own pads, blocker, glove and mask — we'll work with the setup you already trust.
Skate sharpening and gear on the ground floor of Sport Society for when you're ready to build out your own goalie setup.
