The "True North" Advantage

Why Choose True North Goaltending? We don't just teach you how to stop the puck; we teach you the why behind every movement. Our philosophy is built on our four core pillars:

  • Technique: This pillar focuses on the foundational skills and movements necessary for efficient and effective goaltending. For this technique, we work on a movement first approach where working on skating and getting into position is a main focus for any development session. We break the technical aspects of the game to ensure a strong technical base upon which all other skills can be built.
  • Awareness: Developing a high hockey IQ is crucial for success. This pillar emphasizes increasing a goalie's understanding of the game, including reading offensive plays, anticipating passes and shots, and recognizing scoring threats. We aim to develop proactive goalies who can make informed decisions based on how the game in front of them develops.
  • Improvisation: Goaltending is dynamic, and sometimes the textbook save isn't possible. This pillar focuses on equipping goalies with the ability to adapt and make saves through sheer determination, compete level, and creative problem-solving. We encourage goalies to battle for every puck and find ways to make saves, even in
    unconventional situations.
  • Longevity: A goalie's journey extends beyond the ice. This pillar provides resources and guidance to support long-term development and well-being. This includes strategies for mental skills training, cognitive development exercises, effective communication with coaches, and understanding the importance of off-ice preparation and recovery.
