- Adam Francilia works with 12+ NHL-contracted goalies including Connor Hellebuyck, Devan Dubnyk, Thomas Greiss, James Reimer, and Laurent Brossoit.
- Francilia's off-ice work with Hellebuyck in 2017 contributed to the Jets goalie earning a Vezina Trophy nomination in 2018.

Getting the chance to work with Adam Francilia has been one of the perks of InGoal attending the NET360 Goalie Camps he co-founded with Ray Petkau of Alpha Sports Agency in Kelowna in 2014. By now, you’ve probably heard of Francilia through his work with the NHL goalies at that camp, highlighted by the off-ice transformation in 2017 that helped propel Winnipeg Jets No. 1 Connor Hellebuyck to a Vezina Trophy nomination in 2018.
