About Me

Beginnings

My passion for goaltending started as a child growing up in Windsor, Ontario Canada. It was there that I played my minor hockey. At the age of seventeen, I was invited to tryout for the Prince Albert Raiders of the Western Hockey League. I accepted that invitation and not only made the hockey team but was eventually named their Most Valuable Player. In 1999, I established Bandits Goalie School in Detroit Michigan. It has grown to become the most recognized goalie school in the state and has also gained an international reputation. 

Coaching

In 1999 I was hired to coach the goalies at the University of Michigan where I spent seven years. After leaving U of M, I coached the goalies for the Plymouth Whalers and then with the Flint Firebirds, where I coached some outstanding goalies and demonstrated the ability to work within the team concept. During games, I not only chart and monitor our goalies but I also analyze the opposing goalies to pick out situational habits that our team can exploit. After every game, I break down the video and review it with the goaltenders and use it for planning my sessions with the goalies. I have also been a part of the Team Canada World Junior evaluations.

My Mission

I know that I have the skills that can help your goaltenders and your team. As a former goalie, I understand the mental stresses of the position as well as the technical skills. Helping goaltenders maintain and regain their confidence is often best done by someone who has “been there”.  Should you be interested in discussing my application further, please know that I am at your service. I look forward to hearing from you.
