The goaltending position in ice hockey is the most unique and pressure-packed in sports. Success demands proper coaching and support from a team of dedicated coaches committed to player development. We even offer girl’s-only goalie camps to ensure our female netminders get the tailored attention and instruction they need to excel.

While our goalie camps run in synch with RBHockey's position-player camps, goalies will be separated into their own groups with dedicated goalie instructors who not only explain but also demonstrate key skills. Every one of our top-notch coaches has played at the collegiate or professional level and can offer our campers unique insight into the position, as well as the latest instructional techniques from around the world.

To help goalies excel, RB GOALIE has revamped its goalie instruction program to include more of the skills, ice time and training experiences players need to shine between the pipes. Directed by four year Merrimack College Goaltender Patrick Watson, our goalie program is designed to deliver results.

At RB GOALIE, we’re about building relationships as well as players. That’s why all participants in our camps become part of our extended family. If you ever have a question or concern feel free to contact Patrick or RB Hockey owner Rob Barletta.

What to Expect at Our Camps

We aim to help each goaltender reach his or her potential between the pipes. To do so, following the first session we divide campers by ability level, not age, so each player can learn at a pace that promotes performance gains.

Goaltenders will receive personal instruction from our team of experienced coaches, all of whom have played pro or college hockey. At our camps, which offer a low coach-to-student ratio, every instructor is on-ice in full equipment. Our coaches don’t stand passively along the boards shouting instructions; rather they get into the net and show your player how things should be done. By fully participating in every skill session our coaches can quickly correct campers mid-stride, a technique proven to expedite skill acquisition.
