LaCouvee Goaltending
At the end of the day, LaCouvee Goaltending is about more than just stopping pucks. It’s about having fun, believing in yourself, and learning how to push through setbacks.
I want goalies to leave my camps not only with better skills but with the confidence to face challenges head-on and the mindset to keep improving long after the camp ends.
My biggest motivation is to see my goalies succeed — to help them avoid the mistakes I made and go further than I ever did. Whether that’s reaching junior hockey, NCAA, or even the NHL, I want to give them the tools to make the most of their potential.
Because I’m still a current pro goalie, I understand what today’s game demands: the speed, the reads, and the decisions that separate good goalies from great ones. That’s why I focus not just on the technical side of the game, but also the tactical and mental components that make all the difference when the pressure’s on.
I’m not just a coach, I’m invested in each goalie’s journey, and I’m here to support them long after the ice gets scraped.
LaCouvee Goaltending: Elevate Your Game – From Overlooked to Elite
At LaCouvee Goaltending, we are committed to transforming goalies from unconfident, inconsistent, and overlooked to high-performance athletes ready for junior hockey and beyond. Led by professional goaltender Connor LaCouvee, our program is built on elite-level training, structured mentorship, and career-focused advising to ensure our goalies have the tools, skills, and mindset to succeed at the highest levels of the game.
Our Philosophy: The Three Pillars of Goaltending
LaCouvee Goaltending is built upon the technical, tactical, and mental pillars of goaltending. Success in the crease requires mastery in all three areas:
- Technical Excellence – Skating, positioning, save selection, and execution to develop a strong foundation.
- Tactical Awareness & Goalie IQ – Reading the play, recognizing patterns, thinking like a player, anticipating threats, and making smart decisions.
- Mental Resilience – Confidence, focus, and the ability to perform under pressure.
It is my goal for your career to be better than mine ever was. I want to provide goalies with the knowledge, tools, and opportunities to reach levels they never thought possible.
Two Ways to Train with Us
At LaCouvee Goaltending, we offer two primary ways to develop your game and reach the next level:
- In-Person Training – Through our Train Like A Pro Summer Camps, goalies experience high-intensity, hands-on development with elite coaching.
