Off Season Training

Goalie Families-

Off season is a time for rest from the long hockey season, but also a time to work on your skills as a goalie and an athlete.

There are a number of options out there for summer instruction. 

ACYHA's Lead goalie instructor, Pete Samargia  and Attitude Goaltending run multiple summer clinic options, at our home rink.

Armstrong-Cooper Boys Varsity Hockey coach Danny Charleston runs Summer Training Program at New Hope, and goalies can typically attend for free, contact Coach Charleston for more information on that!

Those are just some of the most convenient options. 

If you have any questions about other opportunities, contact myself, or Pete and we would be happy to discuss with you!

 

Goalie Skills - 2023/24 Schedule and Attendance

Hello Goalie Families-

Thanks for a great season!  Attendance with our younger group of Squirts/U10's and Mites/U8's set records this year!  We have never had attendance like that!

If you were a full time goalie, in-season training credits will be processed at the end of everyone's season by the end of April.

Thanks for a great year!

-Andrew

Goalie Coaching Basics

Coaches, Parents and Goalies-

Goalies are critical to our teams and association!  We need to make sure we are incorporating their development into every practice plan, and we get them working in every practice.

The position can be intimidating to some coaches, but relax!  We will provide you with resources as the season goes along.

Below are several simple goalie coaching instructional sheets that will help anyone speak the language that our goalies are hearing on Sunday's and practices with Attitude Goaltending, and from myself when I am able to be on the ice with any of the age groups.

More resources will follow as Pete and I work together to develop more resources for our goalies, coaches and parents!

Thanks, and Go Wings!

Goalie Credit and Off-Season Training

Goalie Families:

As a Reminder and update, we are still offering the registration credit to goalie families for the 2022-23 season, with proof of an off-season training registration.  The credit is for up to $500 off of the regular season, based on the cost of your off season training.

Statement from last season:

Starting with the 2019-2020 Season Registration, ACYHA has amended our Goalie Credit Policy to both reward goalies for in-season work, and reward them for off-season training.

In addition to the in-season credit criteria and credit, Goalie families can receive a summer training credit, upon verification of a summer training expense.  This expense will be verified by the Goalie Coordinator and the HDC for a registration credit code issued for the following season. (e.g. verified expense incurred in summer  will result in a credit code issued for use at the time of the following season registration). 

The overall total goalie credit available to goalies will now be $1,000, broken out as follows: 1) Summer training credit up to a maximum of $500, upon verified summer training expense being incurred. If the expense is less than $500, then will be reimbursed $1 for $1 incurred up to $500 maximum 2)In season credit of $500 to be issued as a registration reimbursement, based upon complying with the normal criteria of goalie training attendance etc. 

This incentive begins this off-season (Summer 2019!!!), for the credit applied to next season's registration.  Take full advantage of this fantastic opportunity and investment of our association in our goaltenders!

If you have any questions, please contact me (Andrew Cooper).

There are many opportunities out there, and we have some very good ones available at New Hope. 

Thanks for your dedication to our goalies!
