A bit of history...
Steve Carroll was a Hall of Fame goalie at Edina High School and an All-American and NCAA National Champion at Minnesota State University, Mankato.
After his playing days ended, Steve recognized that most youth hockey goalies received little or no constructive coaching. He was determined to change that way of thinking and do what he could to help goalies of all abilities improve their skills and achieve their goals.
Steve organized his first goalie school in 1995 and his program quickly became a skill development leader. Many goalie schools have come and gone since Steve’s started sharing his passion and enthusiasm for the position. And today, the Carroll Goalie School is going strong!
