 Join Us This Summer!
Mass Crease Summer Program was developed by former NHL Goaltender, Brian Eklund, and is reexamined each year so as to provide the latest coaching techniques. This unique program develops the goaltender from the ground up through teaching the goalie you have to be strong, athletic, flexible, intelligent and most importantly quick. All these characteristics are developed through repetition, drills, technique, off-ice training and exceptional coaching.
Brian Eklund has shaped a program which bears a striking resemblance to the type of training you see with Professional Goaltenders. It’s a combination of On-Ice and Off-Ice Training. On-Ice we work on the technique between the pipes, which is a hybrid of the Quebec and Finnish styles. We build goaltenders from skating to puck handling and concentrate on technique while developing the agility needed to compete at the "next level". Off-Ice we condition the goaltender through strength training and agility exercises. Off-Ice shapes the goalie and On-Ice perfects the goalie.
Through all the hard work that is exerted, we never forget that the reason we all play this game is to have FUN. These facts are central to our program, and we look forward to improving YOUR game very soon!

ELITE SERIES
Due to the overwhelming success from the first summer, the Elite Series Summer Mentorship program returns. The Elite Series is based around the concept of smaller groups (2:1 ratio MAX) and high end coaching which is spread throughout the summer. The camp is designed for goalies that are of high school age, and are looking for intense instruction and analysis over the entire summer. During this camp Brian will be on ice with the goalies EVERY day, and will be taking a maximum of 6 goalies per group whom will be accepted through an application process. Once accepted the goalie will be able to choose the session that they would like to attend. Daily video review of on ice performance will be conducted to help maximize development. At the conclusion of the camp the video will be broken down into a 5-7min scout video to help in the recruitment process. Dedicated shooters will be hired. All goalies must come into camp in top shape to get best results. This is not a camp to get the goalie into shape. Payment plans are set up once session is selected.

JUNIOR ELITE SERIES
Due to the overwhelming success from the first summer with the Elite Series Summer Mentorship program we have decided to offer a Jr version to goalies younger than high school age. The Jr Elite Series is based around the concept of smaller groups (2:1 ratio MAX) and high end coaching which is spread throughout the summer. The camp is designed for goalies that are not of high school age, and are looking for intense instruction and analysis over the entire summer. During this camp Brian will be on ice with the goalies EVERY day, and we be taking a maximum of 6 goalies per group whom will be accepted through an application process. Once accepted the goalie will be able to choose the session that they would like to attend. Daily video review of on ice performance will be conducted to help maximize development. At the conclusion of the camp the video will be broken down into a 5-7min scout video to help in the recruitment process. Dedicated shooters will be hired. All goalies must come into camp in top shape to get best results. This is not a camp to get the goalie into shape. Payment plans are set up once session is selected.

DEVELOPMENT CAMP
The Development camp is a combination of our signature full day camps which we have run for the past 4 summers. In this camp, Brian will be there daily and will challenge the goalies, and push to develop the complete goaltender. In each camp, those that attend will be broken into groups based upon ability (not age) which will be reevaluated on a daily basis. By breaking the group up, it ensures that each goalie spends more time with Brian and his staff. There is a MAX ratio of 3:1 of goalies to coaches on ice. Each day attendees will be put through video review of the techniques of the day, attend a Goalga session, spend three hours on ice, get individual video analysis of their drills, and also spend an hour of off ice training. Goalies attending should comes in with the understanding that each day is going to be challenging and EXPECT to be sore! These camps have been wildly popular and have sold out year after year.
