Each one of our eight pillars lesson has its own area of focus as well as an overall concentration on movement and athleticism. Consistent training of the eight pillars and foundational drills that improve skating, reads, passing and growing passion for the position, will produce remarkable results. Lessons are conducted once per week for eight weeks and have a distinct lesson plan. The day and time of the lessons remain constant throughout the eight-week sessions.

Stop It Goaltending’s AAA Training Week program will challenge goalies with progressive techniques and drills plus off-ice training! Stop It Goaltending has been training goalies since 1999 and we are proud of all the goalies that have come through our system including over 30 NHL draft picks and hundreds of collegiate student-athletes. We are excited to share our knowledge and passion for goaltending with you this summer.
The Stop It Goaltending AAA Training Weeks are specifically designed for youth level goaltenders. This program runs Monday through Thursday and features 8 hours of on-ice development, 2.5 hours of video/theory and 6 hours of off-ice training.
On-ice training consists of a combination of skating drills, techniques and strategies, puck handling and competition. The off-ice workouts are a combination of speed, quickness, and agility training as well as video classroom sessions and theory.
Stop it Goaltending AAA weeks are held in our development centers and are run Mondays through Thursdays. If you are interested in, or if you have any questions about AAA Training Weeks, please contact the Stop It Goaltending office at (833) USTOPIT – (833) 878-6748, Extension 1.

The Stop It Goaltending Complete Goaltender Training Weeks are specifically designed for motivated goaltenders and held at Merrimack College in North Andover, Massachusetts. This is a very personalized week that only accepts four goalies and focuses on each individual goalies systems and strategies. The end goal is to leave the program with a detailed plan (SIG Personal Playbook) for all situations which will contribute to a goalie’s confidence and success between the pipes.
The program runs Monday through Thursday and features 12 hours of on-ice and 12 hours of off-ice development. On-ice training consists of a combination of skating drills, techniques and strategies and puck handling. An extensive video is used during this week. The off-ice training is a combination of speed, quickness and agility training, strength and conditioning exercises and classroom sessions and theory.
Lunch is provided each day but the Complete Goaltender Week does not include boarding at Merrimack College. If you are from outside the area we suggest the Holiday Inn Express located down the road from Merrimack College. Goalies in need of a room should call (978) 975-4050 and ask for the Stop It Goaltending/Merrimack College Rate. Rooms are limited so you are advised to call early. If you are interested in, or if you have any questions about our Complete Goaltender Training Week please contact the Stop It Goaltending office at (833) USTOPIT – (833) 878-6748, Extension 1.
POWERSKATE
(MORNINGS)
Level
14U | 16U | 18U | 19U
Jr | College | Pro
This summer Stop It Goaltending will be offering powerskating every Monday through Thursday morning at Merrimack College for high school and older goalies. Participating goalies can skate up to four days a week for 50 minutes from 9AM to 9:50 AM for the cost of $320. Focus points will be edge control, explosiveness, efficiency, balance and “mogility” (the combination of goalie specific movement and agility). There will also be a fair amount of puckhandling in these seasons and the two skills go hand in hand.
Poweskating is held at Merrimack College only. Goalies are welcome to skate 4 days per week, combine powerskating on their PGD days or skate the powerskating group on the day not participating in PGD.
