Goaltending Development and Instructors

In private goalie lessons, goalies will receive instruction on the most progressive save techniques with a focus on building solid fundamentals through muscle memory and positive reinforcement. Each week's lesson has a distinct plan which progresses from week to week. Through the eight weeks of lessons, goalies will work on all aspects of the position and have a thorough understanding of their system of play. Lessons consist of one Director, one shooter per two goalies and a maximum on four goalies per lesson.

Directors at the Hat Trick Center include Brian Daccord (Phillips Andover boys goalie coach and former Boston Bruins goalie coach); John Carratu (Northeastern University goalie coach); Brian Robinson (Bentley University goalie coach and Brion O'Connor (NEHJ and Phillips Andover Girls goalie coach).

Times and Groups

Lessons are conducted once per week for eight weeks. The day and time of the lessons remain constant throughout the eight-week session. There are no more than four goalies per lesson.

Goalie lessons include one instructor and two shooters for four goalies. There are specialty lessons that may consist of 1 on 1 or 1 on 2 director-to-goalie ratios.

Once the eight-week program has begun there will be the opportunity to register on a week by week basis depending on availability. Week by week slots will not be listed until the eight week program has begun.
