"I learned a lot in the last two days, very good information."

"Some of the drills listed in the handout would be good for parents / coaches. I found that all the drills were helpful to educate all the young goalies."

"Very powerful school for all groups. Hope you come back to Watrous again."

"It was fun!"

"Have a summer camp for peewees."

"Classroom stuff was better than on ice."

"Overall very impressed. Thank you!"

"Top notch Instructors and information."

"Too bad more coaches would not include themselves in this camp."

"Classroom sessions were a little long for the younger kids."

"I think that for a younger person the off ice sessions were long. It was a good thing you had hockey magazines. All references to feet and inches may not have meant much to the kids. They have grown up very metric."

"Very helpful in answering all questions."

"Remember the Mini Pucks next time."

"I would really like to come back, it’s great and fun."

"The off ice sessions were awesome."

"It is very organized and very professional."

"Awesome."

"Thanks it was great!"

"Instructors are very organized and have a strong knowledge of goaltending."

"Learned a lot more than which I originally knew about the position. It gives me a stronger passion for the game / greater love."

"Everybody was able to share their opinions."

"I learned new skills during the on ice sessions."

"It was worth the money needed to pay."

"Very good information."

"Really enjoyed the program and am looking forward to a Midget AAA Prep Camp in the off season."

"Very knowledgeable and helpful."

"Like the booklet we get to take home. Maybe some video clips to show examples would be helpful."

"Lunch breaks too short both days."

"Great job!! I was impressed and I think my son learned a lot and it wasn’t too tiring. Good mix. Thank you."

"I am a dad and I learned a lot."

"Both were good instructors."

"Off ice sessions were a good amount of time, kept the young guys attention long enough but not too long."

"Good patience with the kids & listened to them even when it was a little off topic from the kids."

"It was a great couple of days. I would like my son to be able to spend more time with the coaches. You guys were very patient and good with them. You have a great program!"

"I liked the off ice sessions and learned lots of new things."

"The instructors were cool. This camp was really fun."

"With a very young group, your patience was awesome."

"The off ice sessions were about right for the kids here. Any longer would be hard to keep their attention."

"Hope there is a camp next year."

"I learned so much and will be implementing as much as possible on-ice and off."

"I would like to see a section on diagrams of drills. I diagramed everything I saw today in order to try and remember everything."

"We learned so much today. Our goalie has been yearning for guidance in this position."

"We will be enrolling in more camps."

"I think all coaches should be required to go to a session such as todays. Perhaps a huge eye opener.
Wow ! Thank you so much. I know we will be most definitely be looking forward to more training from you guys."

"A few good practice drills to pass on to coaches."

"Love the fact that parents and coaches can be involved in the sessions."

"I thought the off ice was very good it had good timing."

"I had fun, now I just have to wait till next year."

"Useful info that can help the boys in their spare time."

"These sessions were good for the kids and helped them with their goaltending."

"This was a good camp and the kids really took skills away. The 2 instructors were really awesome with the younger kids and did a great job keeping them on track and involved in the camp. Thank you for your patience and commitment to helping the kids."

"A lot of info, somethings a little too advanced for our novice goalie."

"Lots of opportunity to ask questions and provide input."

"I’ll see you next year!"

"Materials provided were helpful in coaching and practice drills, Thanks guys!"

"Off ice sessions were a little long, sometimes the kids would lose focus."

"The pucks view really changed my view."

"Thanks for coming it was great!"

"Thanks for pointing out strengths as well as weaknesses."

"You fellows are very approachable."

"Off ice sessions were a little long for the little guys."

"Thanks for coming and making my son work."

"We will recommend MTN!"

"For first time goalies there was plenty of challenge."

"The video of the smaller kids was very helpful in understanding how much of the net they actually cover."

"In the classroom, what was being done right and wrong was better shown to the kids on the screen rather than on the ice."

"In the booklet, please add some drills that were done on the ice as I will not remember them."

"Excellent course. Very helpful for goalies, parents and coaches."

"We enjoyed the 2 days. Very informative and the on ice drills & skills will really help."

"Great Knowledge of the game."

"I think that every coach should take a goalie training course."
