Minnesota Hockey Advanced Goalie Camp attracts 50 goalies

Coach Carroll at Minnesota Hockey's Advanced Goalie Camp.

The sixth Minnesota Hockey Dave Peterson Advanced Goalie Camp was held in late July at the Schwan Super Rink in Blaine.

There were 50 high school-aged goalies at the four-day, three-night camp (25 boys and 25 girls.) The goalies were invited to participate based on their performance in the USA Hockey Advanced Festivals held during the spring.

As USA Hockey’s Minnesota District Goalie Coach-in-Chief, I served as director of this camp and I was one of the 17 college and high school goalies coaches who worked with the participants during the on-ice sessions.

Current Minnesota college goalies from the NCAA Division I and III schools served as on-ice demonstrators/counselors.

It was a lot of fun and a cool event to be a part of.

Do you believe in miracles?

Yes, it was 30 years ago today that the U.S. Olympic hockey team stunned the world by beating the Russians in Lake Placid on their way to Olympic gold. I was in college during that game and we watched with great interest the tape delayed replay of the historic game. Do remember what you were doing that day?
