Schedule A Lesson Today!
photos/private-lessons-clay.jpgSuccessful goaltending demands mobility and balance. If a goalie cannot move efficiently and accurately in balance and on angle around the crease, the chance of making saves is drastically reduced.

Jake Romano Named Captain of Archbishop William's Hockey Team
photos/102312-jakeromano.jpgI thought of the first time I brought Jake to your Sunday night camp, I was looking for some skills that had a personal touch not a factory for 10ys olds. You took the time to pull him aside and evaluate him only to determine he skated pretty good, but just dragged his toes. We spent many nights commuting a pretty good distance to several nightly skills camps and found them superior to any others we had been to. After a while Jake felt comfortable enough with your staff to attend the mini camps during the summer and school vacations. I instantly noticed his progress during the games on his town team after he had spent any time at your camps. The “you practice like you play” motto from your staff really proved true for Jake.
