The Above Expected Difference
New to summer 2025 is the addition of having a current professional goaltender coaching each day of all Above Expected Goaltending camps. By integrating a current professional, attending goaltenders will be able to learn from someone who has recently gone through the same developmental experiences, highs, and lows which come with our position. Goaltenders can also expect an increased volume of challenging shooters.
There is a difference when training with Brennan and Jared. They are not “private lesson coaches”. All season long they are working with a team or out scouting 200+ games a year. They know you cannot train like the position happens in a vacuum. The camps are designed for goaltenders to improve in situations that really happen. There are no “petrie dish” drills or subjective situations.
Each AEG Camp’s on ice portion runs exactly the same. There will be no more than 15 goaltenders on the ice at one time with one of the principle coaches leading each station for a combined 10 hours of on ice training.
Eight total video sessions and small group discussion sessions will take place at each camp. Through mindful repetition with a superior coaching staff, goaltenders will increase their ability to execute their foundation in a more consistent manner and elevate their play by learning the “details that differentiate.”
