Each month has a different focus to ensure a balanced curriculum throughout the goaltenders season. Enrollment is secured through an interview with Chris Billingsley and based on available space. (LIMITED SPACE AVAILABLE FOR THIS SEASON.)

95% of our goaltending classes are member based and pre booked for the year. However, any spots that have not been filled by members will be made available to the public on the weekend prior. 

GOALTENDER MOVEMENT AND PUCK HANDLING CLASSES – This class is for goalies who are proficient skaters, can shuffle, push, and slide but are looking to develop their skills further. We use a mix of power skating, advanced crease movements and puck handling for goalies. We spend 1/3 of the time working on stamina and strength while paying close attention to technique. 1/3 of the time is dedicated to moving around the crease. Slides, pushes, shuffles and combination movements goalies see in games. The last third is dedicated to puck handling, shooting and stopping and playing the puck behind the net. Ratio of goalies to instructors is between 4:1, to a max of 8:1. Cost is $65 plus tax and can be booked online.

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. Cost is $115 plus tax and can be booked online.

BEGINNER GOALTENDING – This is for goalies brand new to the position! Goalies must be able to skate, stand on their own and be able to get up and down. No goaltending experience necessary! We also have beginner goalie gear if you are just looking to try it out! This program focuses heavily on movement/skating and has very few “shots”. Ratio of goalies to Coaches is between 5:1 and 2:1. Cost is $50 plus tax and can be booked online. 

1on1 PRIVATE LESSON – This is a 50 mins lesson with Chris Billingsley. This lesson is highly specific to each goaltending to maximise learning. Chris uses video as necessary, provides immediate feedback and correction, as well as next steps moving forward. The lesson must be booked via email and is not available on the website. Coach to Goalie Ratio is 1:1. We also offer a half ice option with goalies working in the other end to help reduce cost.
