The GGHA hosted another successful try goalie session this past Sunday September 22nd at the West End Rec Center. Members were able to try out the position in a goalie designated ice time. Led by the GGHA Rep Goaltender Development Instructor,
Caitlin Kroetsch, members participated in fundamental goalie drills and got a taste of what the position holds.
Thanks to all of those members who signed up and participated and thanks to Cait and all of her helpers on the ice as well:
- June McCormick, U13BB Assistant Coach
- Taryn Petzold, U13A Assistant Coach
- Teagan Mason, U18AA Goalie
- Alexa Beaulieu, U18AA Goalie
- Marshall Clyde, GMHA Goalie

Goaltending is a critical aspect of team play and requires direct & consistent unique coaching skills. Just as forwards and defenders get specific coaching for their respective positions, goalies require the same attention and guided skill development. [Hockey Canada - Goaltending]
Did you know the GGHA offers a discount for
local league goalies?
-
If you play as a goalie for 80% of the time, you can get a 50% discount. Please contact the registrar at [email protected].
- U9 will not have dedicated goalies; all players will rotate playing as a goalie.
- U11 will aim to have 2 goalies per team. Any child who wants to try playing as a goalie will have a chance in net and will participate as a player when it's not their turn as a goalie.
- U13 and older aim to have one dedicated goalie per team. If additional goalies register, some may need to share the position.
