Our camps run through the NHL off season. We pride ourselves on providing a premium experience with NHL goaltending coaches, professional trainers/coaches & pro goalies with a low student to instructor ratio (published for each camp) to ensure each student gets the attention they need to develop their goaltending talents.

Along with on ice activities we provide classroom style learning with access to video content previously only available to pro coaches that's used to breakdown plays for our students to learn save selection, technique & situational awareness used by pro goalies.

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.

Next Level Goaltending is based out of Minnesota and runs camps and programs for goalies of all ages, Squirts to the NHL. With camps, programs, and virtual coaching, our goal is to make each goalie the best version of themselves. Our goalies get instruction and guidance from coaches who have played or coached at the highest levels.
Our programs are designed to challenge and build the tangible and intangible aspects of the game that are required for goalies to have success at the next level. We help to create a deeper understanding of the game and patterns of play that help our goalies quickly process information and adapt to the higher levels of play.

Here at Gould Goaltending we believes in allowing goaltenders to develop and improve their own style of goal tending. We believe that while each goaltender is unique in their technique they all have a common need for technical development, concentration, strength, flexibility and control of game situations.
The school strives to combine a broad development of the goalie’s knowledge of the game with a focused enhancement to each goalie’s individual techniques. Our goal is achieved by providing a balanced curriculum of off-ice training classroom instruction, on-ice training and video analysis with the best instructors available.
Goalies receive the highest quality instruction for a limited number of goalies. The low student/ instructor ratio allows each goalie to practice more in a given time slot, and allows the instructors to get to know each goalie’s specific needs. Every goalie has their own unique style. We work with the goaltender’s style and don’t try to change it.

Jon has developed many NHL goalies: Stanley Cup Champions, NHL Allstars, NHL Rookie of the Years and NHL starters. Besides running Jon Elkin’s Goalie Schools, Elkin has been a NHL goalie coach for four organizations. He left the Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL) at the start of last season and is now the Director of Goaltending for the Pittsburgh Penguins (NHL).

Prescience, an analytical mind, and good common sense have kept Jon ahead of technical and tactical trends. He led the way teaching the butterfly in the early 1990s and understood from day one that patience and reacting were crucial components. The RVH or what Elkin calls “post knee down” had complimented his system long before widespread adoption.

An expert in goaltending movement, Jon identifies details that may normally go unnoticed and implements appropriate adjustments. Pattern recognition from studying hundreds of goalies and thousands of games per year combined with 41 years of coaching experience ensures that goalies receive world class guidance.
