Philosophy

Philosophy image
Deliberate practice and repetition are the foundation of any successful athlete. Being a successful goaltender is a perfect representation of this in sport. Goaltenders are judged off of percentages and averages, so what does that mean? It means the most consistent goaltenders are the ones who continue to move up the ladder, while those whose game fluctuates fall behind. I believe we derive consistency as goaltenders from our technique and movements as well as our mental make up. If you can consistently put yourself in a position where you are balanced and centered on the puck, when the shot comes you will be able use your hands or stick to react to the shot, and you will be on the path toward consistency.

About

About imageAbout image
Born and raised in LaGrange, Illinois Matt started playing hockey for the (then) Darien Huskies. From there he played AAA for The Fury, Team Illinois, and the Chicago Mission. From there Matt played one year of U18 for the Cleveland Barons. That summer he was selected to represent Team USA at the Ivan Hlinka Tournament, winning player of the game in his only start, a 4-3 Overtime win over Sweden in the bronze medal game. From there Matt played his senior year of high school playing for the Janesville Jets in the North American Hockey League. That season his team set the total points record, wins record, and longest win streak, while he led the league in all major goaltending statistics. From Janesville Matt went to the University of Wisconsin, where he started my freshman year, then ran into some  injuries, leading him to return to the United States Hockey League with the Sioux City Musketeers. After a year in the USHL, Matt continued his college career at Michigan Technological University. During his senior year Michigan Tech won the Great Lakes Invitational. He is currently playing for the Idaho Steelheads in the ECHL.

Pete started his hockey career off with the Crystal Lake Leafs, while living up in Northern Illinois, before moving down to Hinsdale. Pete started off my AAA adventure with the Chicago Mission, and stuck with them until my Midget Major year. Pete's senior year of high school he moved onto playing in the USHL with the Chicago Steel. Pete played with them for one more year after high school before moving onto college hockey. Pete played college with coach Matt at the University of Wisconsin. Pete's sophomore year of college he was a B1G honorable mention, and then his senior year was named captain. After college, he signed with the Colorado Eagles in the AHL. Pete spent my first year mostly in the ECHL before getting called up at the end of the year, only to have our season get cut short from COVID. He was with them this past year as well, but ran into injury problems, so he didn’t get to play many games. As for this year, Pete is signed with the Rochester Americans in the Buffalo Sabres organization.

Roller hockey league

10 Game season played on Thursday nights and Sunday evenings. Games will start August 
Location TBD.
Roller hockey is played 4 v 4 with no offsides or body contact. We will run 45 minute run time games. Standings will be kept throughout the season and a playoff format will be developed shortly. Roller hockey is one of the best ways to develop live action stick skills, as well as on ice IQ, as is evidenced by the multiple NHL players that credit roller hockey with aiding in their development.

I met Cliffy when I was playing for the Sioux City Musketeers. His ability to relate to goalies and get to know them goes a long way when he is trying to relay a coaching point!
