Ian Robertson (Co-director/instructor)

When Ian Robertson’s son started playing goal 18 years ago, little did Ian know the impact Goaltending would have on him. Initially Ian made the typical parent mistakes, too little of a goal stick, too bulky of equipment.

It was during his son’s first exposure to a goalie camp that Ian realized that there was more to this position than met the eye. Since that time he has developed a passion for goaltending and has explored any experience that would help him get a better understanding of the position.

Ian has been an instructor at Geoff Brand’s Goaltending Dynamics and a Saskatchewan area rep for Ian Clark’s, Goaltending Development Institute and has published an article in From the Crease (GDI).

Ian has over 16 years coaching experience and has personally had a hand in developing various goalies at the Minor, Midget AAA, Junior and University levels.

 

Ian married his wife Susan (MTN web programmer) in 1982 and they have three children.

  • Blair (Born 1983): a goaltender on scholarship to RMC taking Mechanical Engineering
  • Dyan (Born 1984): Graduating 2006 in Honours Psychology, University of Saskatchewan
  • Rian (Born 1985):  Attending University of Waterloo in Mathematics
MTN not only allows Ian the opportunity to stay involved in goaltending and hockey but the contact with the young goaltenders helps him delay the aging process, if ever so slightly.
