Laker Summer Elite Program

These programs involve hybrid sessions structured like a team or skills practice, where goaltenders receive specialized training from a goalie coach while also participating in player drills to simulate realistic, game-like scenarios and improve situational awareness. These programs are run in conjunction with Laker Hockey Academy's Summer Elite Program. This program is an intense full summer program designed for players looking to push themselves and improve their player/goaltender skills throughout the summer. The groups are comprised of high level players, and therefore is by invitation only. Please INQUIRE to learn more or apply for the program.

Workload Management & Goalie Specific Components

Goalie coaches are on the ice for every skate from Monday to Thursday, ensuring goalies consistently receive dedicated goaltender-specific training. The program incorporates themed skates, including skills-focused days, positional development days, and game-scenario days. Our small group of experienced coaches carefully manages and monitors the program to provide personalized, curated training for each goalie. This approach allows coaches to balance workloads by focusing on slower-paced, detailed skill work during high shot-volume days and faster-paced goalie drills involving players on other days.

Skill and Program Focuses

  • Stance
  • Lateral Mobility on Feet (speed, explosiveness, proper angles and angle adjustments)
  • Lateral Mobility in Butterfly (hand positioning, tracking, efficient movements, aggressive hands)
  • Postwork (RVH, VH, Situational Understanding)
  • Puck-Handling
  • Edgework (essential to becoming a stronger skater)
  • Situational Play (controlling rebounds, reading the play, save selection)
