Elite Goalie Coaching
About The Goalie School
At The Goalie School (TGS), our goaltenders are trained not to waste time, movement or energy.
Our goal is to provide our goalie students with the knowledge and skills necessary to build a solid foundation and to allow for future growth, no matter where or with whom that goalie is playing, training, or practising with. We focus on all aspects of goalie development – on and off the ice – using modern techniques and teaching strategies.
We teach a strong emphasis on mobility (skating and proper edge work), form/technique, net presence and rebound control – the cornerstone skills of a technically sound goaltender.
The elite goalie coaching services at TGS include:
- Visual – head trajectory
- Visual - making visual contact with the puck
- Mental – reading the play
- Physical – reacting to the play
- Positioning and posture (ability to get square)
- Proper depth and angle
- Net awareness
- Rebound control
- Protecting the posts
- Proper recovery techniques
- Reaction saves

Duane Crocker
The Goalie School was founded in 2017 by long-time goaltender, Duane Crocker. As the Head Instructor at TGS, Duane brings his own 20+ years of playing experience, as well as 25+ years of elite goalie coaching experience, including 20 years as Head Instructor at Just Goaltending, Goaltending the Evolution and Universal Goaltending. During that time, Duane taught and developed goalies of all ages and skill levels across the GTA and York Region.
During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Duane was a member of the Humber College Hawks, playing four seasons as their starting goaltender. During that time the Hawks were the #1 ranked team in the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA). Some of his highlights included:
- Most Valuable Player – 98-99 / 99-00
- OCAA Goals Against Average Leader – 98-99 / 99-00 / 00-01
- OCAA 1st Team All-Star – 99-00 / 00-01
Domenic Rollo
Domenic is not only an instructor at The Goalie School, but he has also been a student of TGS since he was 9 years old. After his first year of training with TGS Domenic graduated from AA to playing AAA in the GTHL. During his final Midget year playing for the AAA Toronto Red Wings he played in the Midget All-star game. He was a ROPSAA champion and the MVP of his senior varsity school team when he was in the 10th grade.
Due to a nagging knee injury, Domenic had to retire from playing competitively but is now eager to use the knowledge he has gained to help the next generation of TGS students become the best possible goaltenders they can be.
