AP2 - Puck Handling Goalie Training Hockey Class

 Adapt Goaltending's AP2 (formerly HP Adaptive Puck Handling Camp) takes place over the course of the 8 weeks during July and August at Canlan York in Toronto, Ontario. This is a 90 minute class with university and jr level shooters to challenge you at every station. As the game of hockey continues to evolve, it's not enough for goaltenders to just stop the puck. Teams are continuing to look for goaltenders that possess the ability to be that third defense and help initiate breakouts along with being able to maintain possession in the D-zone.  Goaltenders are asked to vacate their crease often to draw in forecheckers and ease pressure on their outlets.

 Through the course of this summer period, goaltenders will first begin the process to learn the technical skills to effectively move with and without the puck. As the weeks move along, the tempo of the classes will pick up as we move into phases of application and execution by creating more game-like settings. This is a class for goaltenders looking to improve this skillset in a high tempo environment. Early sign up begins in  March 2025 so don't miss out to claim one of only TEN SPOTS AVAILABLE!

Goaltenders attending this puck handling program can expect to learn and develop many important skills that will allow them to set themselves apart and become an asset as that third defense every coach is looking for now. The class is broken up into modules to first introduce each skill an over its duration, develop them to become habits.
