Our low player to instructor ratio allows us to customize the instructional programming to each participant’s needs.
StinkySocks Hockey Goalie Instructional Sessions allow goalies to choose individual sessions. These are small group goalie sessions (no more than 6 goalies) with an instructor designed to work specifically on goalie skills.
Our main focus is to develop any age and range of talent into a better, more accomplished goaltender. Through results-driven training and years of proven techniques and coaching methods, we focus on making sure every goaltender leaves the ice better than when they came on. Sessions will focus on skills, stamina, reaction time, quickness, mental toughness, and game situations. Teaching the technical side of goaltending is not enough, we make it our priority to educate goalies on how to compete and win under pressure situations.

Finally, after each session, we will review the day’s session to provide the coaching and feedback you need on your particular game. We also encourage you to let us how you perform during the week in your games/practices so we can structure future sessions around areas that you may want to work on a bit more.
Before our goaltending sessions, we start by encouraging you to discuss your background, specific style, recent play, and goals to help us assess your strengths/weaknesses and identify the parts of your game that need the most work. You will learn and incorporate these skills right away by facing shooters in drills developed from game situations. Towards the end of each session, we will finish by working on small game/tight area situations to practice the individual skills worked on at that day’s session.
We work to ensure that the teams are being formed in an equitable way that will ensure balance, which is a vital part of the StinkySocks Hockey experience. All players must individually qualify for their team’s chosen level. If you have any questions regarding leveling we invite you to call the league office discuss leveling.
The low player to coach ratios of our goalie clinics provide a customized experience that’s appropriate for all skill levels.
The skills level is an instructional level geared to helping hockey players develop the fundamentals of the game. It is intended for players getting back into the game or just learning to play hockey. The skills level is also great for players at the novice and lower intermediate levels looking to move to the next skill level. Our low player to instructor ratio allows us to customize the instructional programming to each participant’s needs. Learn to skate and learn to play programs are recommended as prerequisites for new players
Intermediate level skills clinics are designed for adult players in the Level 4–6 range who already have solid hockey fundamentals—typically those with the equivalent background to men’s high school experience. It’s ideal for players who can skate comfortably at game pace, handle the puck in motion, make and receive passes, and shoot with enough power and accuracy to be effective in organized games.
Focus areas are refining and combining existing skills at speed rather than teaching basic mechanics. Examples of areas that players may work on include advanced skating and edge work, puck control under pressure, passing and shooting in motion, and game‑situation concepts such as breakouts, offensive support, and defensive zone coverage. The pace is higher than our regular skills clinics, helping participants sharpen execution, decision making, and overall effectiveness shift to shift.
Shooters for goalie clinics must be at at least the intermediate level. Players at this skill level typically have played high school hockey, or embody the equivalent experience due to age, athleticism, or thorough experience as an adult. Players at this level make good passes, shoot reasonably well, have solid puck control, and maintain good body control.
