Fifty of the state’s top high school goalies are set to participate in the 2013 Minnesota Hockey Dave Peterson Reebok High Performance Goalie Camp, July 25-28, at the Schwan Super Rink in Blaine.
This invite-only goalie development program, now in its ninth year, is designed to improve the individual skills and techniques of Minnesota’s top male and female goalies in the 15-to 17-year-old age group.
”It’s important we provide high-level development opportunities for boys and girls in this age group,” explained Steve Carroll, camp director, who also serves as USA Hockey’s Minnesota District goalie coach-in-chief. “We are thrilled with how this camp has evolved and it continues to improve each year.”
Goalies who make their district/section teams in the Minnesota Hockey Reebok High Performance 15-16-17 boys and girls programs are invited to participate in the camp. The camp was filled on a first-come, first-served basis. The roster of participants will be posted at www.minnesotahockey.org prior to the start of camp.
The camp provides Minnesota’s best goalies with an opportunity to learn the latest techniques and strategies from a combination of the state’s most talented college and high school goalie coaches. Current Minnesota goalies from NCAA Division I and Division III teams serve as on-ice counselors/demonstrators.
Goalies receive nine hours of intense on-ice training and more than nine hours of off-ice instruction. Classroom presentations on stretching, equipment, and mental sports performance training, yoga, video analysis are also be part of the program.
About 350 goalies have participated in this Minnesota Hockey program since it started in 2005. Many of the participants continue to have success in high school hockey, while several others have taken their talents on to the college hockey and professional levels.
