Testimonials

We have to extend a thank you to you and all of TGC crew. Wyatt has grown in leaps and bounds in his skill and everyone around him is taking notice. He’s currently contending for the top goalie spot in our association. Thank you for all you and your amazing coaching staff do!

Working with TGC was great because the teaching really helped with my fundamentals as a goalie which is key to learn in order to succeed in the future. In our lectures I also learned a lot about setting goals both for the season and the career! Thanks!

Having my sons at Shattuck and at The Goalie Club for the past years gives me peace of mind that their development is taken care of with the structure of the goalie program, and at the same time, being themselves in the way that they believe the position should be played. It's been a great experience for my boys.

I have been fortunate enough to work with Coach Des indivually and also through camp with TGC and cannot say enough about them. They do a great job of working with your strengths as a goaltender and helping you develop new techniques that you can use to help improve your game. TGC also had some good dryland training and nutritional advice to help you stay on top of your game. I would highly recommend working with Coach Des and TGC for any goalie, young or old, looking to take the next step in their game.

I have been training exclusively with Coach Des and The Goalie Club since grade school. From learning the basic fundamentals to advanced situational play, on and off the ice, Des has helped me develop into the goaltender I am today. A starting varsity goaltender in high school, a top performing goaltender in the State High School Championships, and now playing in the USHL - TGC made it happen for me!

I am glad to tell you that I am committed to play for the College of Saint Benedict! The goalie Club was a big part in helping me get there so thank you so much!

Hi Coach Des,

Leo got a lot out of camp with you last summer and we are hoping to make it back next year or other seasonal goalie camps. Shattuck is somewhere we’d genuinely love for him to end up down the road — your coaching is a big part of that.

Thanks again, and looking forward to next summer.

Finnick had a wonderful time at camp and came back with a ton of confidence and stoke!

Hello Coach Des,

I loved and enjoyed everything about TGC each of the 12 years I went. I appreciate everything you and the rest of the coaches have done to help me and other kids not only become better goalies but also become better individuals. Being able to attend TGC is something I will forever cherish and be grateful for and I truly appreciate everything the group has done.

Hey Coach Des,

First I wanted to thank you for what Rocco said was the best camp he has ever been to. Not just the on ice stuff, but every part of it. He really had fun and got a lot out of it. Including a lot of stiff joints and a better appreciation for yoga. I've sent him to several camps over the past six years and I was really impressed with all the aspects of your program as well. Hands down THE BEST!

Hi Coach Des, I just wanted to say thank you again for running such a great goalie camp! Vito absolutely loved it, and was challenged hard!! He is already talking about going again next year and even researched how he can go to highschool at Shattuck.

Hi Des,

Layla had a great time at your camp that last week of June, it helped her get Tier 1 for Fall HP!

Des,

I wanted to reach out and say thank you for the TGC week at the end of June. Garrett really enjoyed it and specifically mentioned the focus on technique and his improvement through the camp.  He is already looking forward to next summer.
