We stress the major importance of strong fundamentals in a goalies game, whether that be a mite, or a D1 athlete. With fundamentals being the base of ones game, we also stress the importance of athleticism. We give the goalies tools in a training session, to excel elsewhere, whether that be a team practice, a pickup skate, or in the biggest game of their career!

Meet the Coaches

Patrick Anderson-Head Coach and Owner

I grew up in a family full of goalies, my grandpa, uncles, and dad, in other words there was never a shortage of coaching!

As a young goalie I focused heavily on the fundamentals of movement and the game of hockey, which I believe propelled me into a challenging, yet successful career as a goaltender in the great state of Minnesota.

People often ask me why I coach, I always bring up the moment of realization as the goalies finally figure something out, on or off the ice.

Beginning my sophomore year of high-school I began coaching with Premier Goaltending, since then I have enjoyed coaching so much I decided to start my own business!
As a coach I try to build fundamentals in goalies, while pushing goalies to still use their athleticism.

Wyatt Pilkenton-Station Lead

I have been playing hockey since I was 3 years old, my father was a goalie and I followed in his footsteps! I have been participating in goalie camps and sessions for as long as I can remember. I focused on using my bigger frame to gain advantages over shooters and focused on movement as that is key to becoming a great goaltender. Playing throughout high school at the varsity level and now at the ACCHA level I have gained much knowledge. I coach to help the younger generation learn the art of goaltending. I love the excitement in a young goalie's eyes when they finally perfect a move or make a great save. It reminds me much of myself when I was younger trying to learn the game. I began coaching with PGD after my sophomore year of college. strive to help others like those before who helped me.

Michael Loh-Lead Skating Instructor and Shooter

I grew up playing hockey since I was 4 years old. I have numerous family members that played hockey growing up. I played high school hockey for 3 years and have continued to play the game.

Through my time as a player, my goal was to find a weak spot on a goalie to give me the advantage to score. I focused on fundamentals for power and agility in my skating and edge work. I believe this can help the goalies to develop the power and agility in and out of the crease.

As a coach I strive to help develop the next generation of goalies through my knowledge of shooting and skating.

Charlie youdell-Lead Skating Instructor and Shooter

I grew up in a family that was surrounded by hockey. I have been playing hockey ever since I was 5. I played travel and high school hockey and I still continue to expand my knowledge on the game to pass it off to younger players.

Through out my time as a player, I tried to have the hardest shot and learn the best places to shoot on goalie to be effective in the ice. I believe my skills translate to the skating aspect of goaltending as well as stopping shots.

As a coach I want to instill work ethic and knowledge into the younger generation of goalies so they can continue their career and play at the highest level.
