See What Our Athletes Are Saying

“It’s been great working with Chris, pushing my footwork to the next level. He’s helped my game through video and his attention to detail is excellent. He’s a great goalie coach and i’m glad I get the chance to work with him.”

Brett Brochu

London Knights, 2022 Team Canada World Juniors

“Chris’ strength is that he is able to break down goaltending into the smallest details. Building good habits while simultaneously simplifying your game creates a seamless transformation between practice and game. Working at the hockey studio builds a goaltenders confidence in their technique allowing them to clear their mind when it comes game time. I’m so happy to be a part of the Billingsley Goaltending team”

Aiden Berry

London Nationals, GOJHL

“Chris is someone who is very detailed oriented. He is always looking for new ways to improve his clients games for the better. His positive attitude and strategic approach to the goaltending position is why he is one of the best in the London area”

Michael Simpson

Beginner or Veteran, We Can Help You Improve Your Game

Our team of goaltending coaches carry decades of goaltending experience from multiple levels of competitive play. Our coaches work with you to pinpoint your areas of improvement and work directly with you on customized drills and training plants to take your game to the next level.

Breakdown your Capabilities and Improve Your Goaltending

Using cutting-edge video analytics technology, just like the NHL, we are able to record live, high-quality video of our athletes between the pipes. This allows us to review actual footage of our athletes and create unique, individual training programs to meet our athletes needs.

Small Class Sizes to help Maximize 1:1 Attention

We intentionally keep our class sizes small to ensure each athlete receives maximum attention from our coaches so you can be sure you’re getting your money’s worth on every dollar you spend.

This progressive program focuses heavily on skating and movement around the crease and sets goalies up with the basic fundamentals needed to play the most difficult position in hockey!

The Wolfpack program is currently at capacity. Please contact us to be added to our waiting list.

Our Classes

BEGINNER GOALTENDING!

Join us for a small group lesson for Beginner Goalies! The focus of this class is to teach the fundamentals to, “new to goalie” goalies.  We start with the fundamental of stance and positioning, and then teach goalies how to move like a goalie!

1 on 1 Private Training

A Private 50 minute lesson with Chris Billingsley. We start with a quick call/email to create a session plan and what we’re going to work on specifically. From there, we will meet in the private dressing room and review our agenda for the session. From there, we head to the ice and work on the areas we’ve identified for this lesson. Video feedback and immediate correction through our unique Hockey Studio Camera system. A copy of the lesson can be mailed to you following each one on one lesson for future review.

1on1 Sessions are booked through Chris and are not posted on self-service or our mobile app.

2 on 1 Training

Each 50 minute, 2 on 1 lesson includes direct instruction and video feedback and correction by Chris Billingsley.

Each session will have an overall theme, with drills that build upon one another and fit within the theme. Every session includes a ten minute movement only warm up, where the focus is on the technical aspects of pushing and sliding, stance, and proper hand and stick positioning.

​2 on1’s may be booked online, however if there is nothing available, please contact us.

Movement & Puck Handling

Never has this been more true than now. While tried and true t-pushes, shuffles and c cuts are the foundations which strong, mobile and athletic goalies are built upon, new styles and techniques require goalies to be masters of the edges of their skates to move effortlessly and with speed around their crease.

In our power skating sessions, we will focus on the technical aspects of moving around the crease and outside the net. Goalies will learn to handle the puck and develop the strength and skills needed to play the puck.

The Goalie COMBINE

THE GOALIE COMBINE  – This is the ultimate class for goalies looking to get the most out of an hour with us! The first 20 minutes is pure movement and goalie specific skating. We use a mix of power skating, advanced crease movements for goalies; slides, pushes, shuffles and combination movements goalies see in games. The next 20 minutes is spent on making saves! This is an hour of shots! The focus of this half of the session is to work on hand eye reaction, rebound control and basic saves. We focus on specific areas and our shooters fire over 200 pucks at our goalies! The focus is on quality REPS!. Our coaches are there to make sure positioning movements are sound, so only good habits are engrained. Perfect practice! With only 4 goalies in each session, our ratio of goalies to instructors is 2:1.
