Canadian Professional Goalie Schools have created the first and only goaltender specific prospects camp in the world.
Our mission at Canadian Professional Goalie Schools is to provide goaltenders around the world the opportunity to showcase their talents in a unique and proprietary environment that is conducive to allowing goaltenders to showcase the various aspects of goaltending on and off the ice.
This program is built around showcasing goaltenders mental, physical (Strength and Flexibility), and Vision strengths as well as on ice components such as rebound control, movement, save selections, communication, and puck play, all aspects which allow goaltenders to showcase a more complete package of their abilities to play the position.
This program was designed by Steve Briere and Cody Campbell.
Steve Briere is currently a goalie coach at the USHL and NAHL, SJHL and NCAA Division I levels, and consults at the NHL level. Steve was also a professional goaltender for 10 years having played in the BCHL, USHL, NCAA DI, AHL, ECHL, CHL and Europe.
Cody Campbell is currently a sophomore at Niagara University. Cody is able to relate to everything that an aspiring goalie goes through and is a great resource for prospects camp goalies because of his recent experience at the USHL and NCAA Div I Level
Most prospects camps no goaltender specific evaluation involved in it. They simply get as many kids as possible put them on teams and away they go, with very little control over true evaluation. Some camps may have an hour dedicated to goaltenders but none of the coaches are really watching. Some prospect camps have off ice testing, however none of the tests are goaltender specific. Finally, once the goaltender has finished the camp they are on their own to start all over again at the next camp.
At CPGS we have taken all these issues and concerns and put together the goaltender dedicated prospects camps. These camps are built by goaltenders for goaltenders and will be used as the recruiting component for coaches in the USHL,NAHL, EJHL as well as various Canadian Junior Leagues as well as representation from NCAA Div I and III colleges.
Each goaltender will be filmed on every aspect of the camp and CPGS will create a video library to be used to promote each goaltender. This library can also be updated throughout the season in order to allow scouts the best and most up to date video on each goaltender.
Also unique to the CPGS Prospects Camp, goalies go through Sports Vision Testing as well as a personality assessment and strength and flexibility testing. These are used to evaluate the goalies and get to know each goalie on a personal basis.
Each goaltender will receive 9 hours of on ice instruction as well as 9 hours of off ice and classroom combination. Each goaltender will also receive and complete recruiting guide and free equipment trials from Stomp Goaltending and Warwick Masks.
The CPGS Prospects Camp is the only camp in the world that is dedicated to giving goalies a first class opportunity to showcase there talents over a full weekend to coaches and scouts at the Jr A, NCAA Div I and Div III levels.
The CPGS Prospects camp is sponsored by Warwick Masks and Stomp Goaltending Gear
