Pre-Season Goalie Camp
Program Overview
Returning for Summer 2026 we are excited to bring back our Pre-Season Goalie Camp, led by professional and experienced goalie instructor Daniel Mannella.
Offered exclusively during the week of August 18-21 at Forest Hill Arena, our Pre-Season Goalie Camp is designed to prepare goalies for the upcoming hockey season in a dynamic environment! This week-long program includes 10-hours of on-ice development (2-hours per day) from professional and college level instructors, with each day featuring technical development, crease work, Game IQ, video analysis, dryland and more! Players are expected to listen, work hard, and strive for improvement during sessions, and our coaches will challenge players to work outside their comfort zone to achieve maximum results. While not on the ice, campers will participate in outdoor sports programming like soccer, lacrosse, and flag football, and more!
