Goalie Coach - Adam Kingsmill

Goalies

The Northern Hockey School is continuing to make goalie
development a focus. In the aim of supporting each teams
most important player we are creating the Northern Hockey
School: Goalie Academy. The Goalie Academy is: designed by
goalies, coached by goalies, for goalies. The Northern Hockey
School is teaching a cutting-edge style that will increase
goalie efficiency between the pipes. Our goalies’ balance,
patience, reaction and movement will be tested rigorously
through high repetitions, one-on-one coaching, high quality
shots and game simulations. It is in our philosophy to develop
goalies with an undeniable work ethic and focus on building
and maintaining a proper foundation that will help in our
process of creating the ultimate compact-hybrid goalie.
 
It will be a 3 day program, covering education on pre-practice
and game warm-up, co-ordination training, strength and conditioning, goalie specific stretching, as well as video sessions and of course on-ice coaching. Goalies will each receive an NHS Goalie jersey.
