Goalies

PROFORMANCE GOALIE CLINICS FOR VTMHA GOALIES

Goalies sessions under the Instruction of Pro-Formance Goalie School will continue each Friday at Kits Rink:

Atom and below 4:45 until 5:30pm.
PeeWee and above 5:30 to 6:15pm.

A new session will start on January 7, 2011 and continue up to and including Friday **March 4th, 2011


Please beware that this schedule may change based on the number of goalies at each session. Changes will be noted on the website and be shared with team managers and coaches.

These sessions are 45 minutes long, please show up on time. Please beware that once the Instructors have begun reviewing the stations for the session no additional players will be allowed on the ice. Having to repeat instructions for one player shortens everyone else’s active time on the ice.

Coaches and Assistant Coaches are welcome to attend, particularly for the Atom and below session, where they can help keep the younger players focused. VTMHA Coaches must wear helmets.

DECEMBER 2007 UPDATE REGARDING GOALIE EQUIPMENT REGULATION

Message from Andrew Mustard, PCAHA:


Hello all:
 
For your information, please find attached Hockey Canada Action Bulletin A08-19, which advises that Hockey Canada has delayed implementation of the new rules governing goaltender equipment for one year, to the 2009-2010 season.  This change was made at the Hockey Canada Semi-Annual Meeting, held November 23-24 in Calgary.
 
Changes to the dimensions of goaltenders' catching gloves (Rule 23(a)-Note 2), pads ((Rule 23(b)), and chest and arm protectors (new guidelines) were adopted by Hockey Canada in 2006 effective the 2008-2009 season.  Hockey Canada received feedback from its Branches that the 2 year lead time was insufficient and is allowing one additional year.  If you know of any goaltenders' parents who are planning to purchase new goaltender equipment, please make them aware of the Hockey Canada changes so they do not waste money on non-compliant equipment.

Best regards,
Andrew Mustard
