Introduction:

This camp is designed for the goaltender who desires a curriculum designed specifically for them. The camp will feature only ten (10) goaltenders on the ice per ice time with two goaltenders sharing an instructor for a 1:2 student/instructor ratio.

There are many variables that lead to a controlled first save such as: excellent skating and mobility, outstanding positioning and clean, precise save techniques. These are some of the things that ATC will focus on through the duration of the camp.

The ice sessions WILL BE intense, challenging but also rewarding.

Off Ice Overview:

The dryland portion of the camp will focus on goaltender specific strength training, core strength, flexibility and hand eye coordination. There will be first day, mid week and last day fitness testing performed that will test aerobic capacity, lower and upper body strength and core strength. As with the on ice portion of the camp, the off ice portion will be challenging, demanding and tiring, these things are necessary if, as goaltender’s, we want to get to the next level.

Upon conclusion of the Elite Camp students will demonstrate the ability to:
