2026 Clinics
In 2026, we are offering four programs – Intro to Goaltending, Intermediate Skills, Advanced Skills and Tryout Tune-up. Our schedule features weekend clinics in Minnesota at Blaine (Super Rink), Eagan, Richfield, Sauk Rapids, St. Michael-Albertville and the St. Paul (TRIA Rink). We are also hosting two weekend clinics in July at the RecPlex in West Des Moines, Iowa.
CGS provides game-changing goalie development. We give goalies the high-quality training and positive attention they need to elevate their game to new levels. Participants improve their individual skills and self-confidence so they ultimately learn how to stop more pucks. Our clinics feature a challenging, upbeat and fun learning environment.
