Pro Crease Goaltending
Pro Crease Goaltending (PCG) has been a leader in goaltending training since 2008. Located in Connecticut, PCG was founded by current Tampa Bay Lightning Goaltending Scout, Jared Waimon in 2008.
PCG has been at the forefront of the recent success in USA Hockey Goaltending.
Prior to working for Tampa Bay, Jared served as a Strelow Mentor to USA Hockey's National Goaltending Program and won a Bronze Medal as Goaltending Coach for the USA at the 2023 World Juniors. In addition to training Spencer Knight (Florida Panthers) since age 10, PCG has trained multiple NHL draft picks, dozens of NCAA DI + DIII goaltenders and multiple former / current professionals. Attention to detail, mindful repetition, a realistic drills and video sessions are at the core of each PCG Summer Camp.
Each goaltender leaves a PCG Summer Camp with a better understanding of where their game is and where it needs to go.
COACH EXPERIENCE CAMPS
Pro Crease Goaltending is using our network to bring several of the brightest goalie coaching minds from the NCAA for exclusive one day experiences in our Coach Experience for the committed goaltender. During each Coach Series date goalies will enjoy two 80 minute on ice sessions (2:1 ratio) and two 30 minute video sessions. There will be a Q + A session at the end of each Coach Series, open to attending goalies and parents.
The guest coach will be executing their own lesson plan around the topics they are most passionate about. There will be two unique video and on ice sessions completely designed and led by the guest coach.
While the guest coach leads the video and on ice sessions, all your favorite PCG coaches will be running each on-ice station. It is the best of both worlds, hear new and exciting voices while continuing to engage with your favorite PCG Coaches.
