West Coast Prep Camp’s Goalie Camp is a world-class development opportunity for goalies from U13 all the way to Pro. The Goalie Camp experience is driven by one of the most prominent hockey goalie programs in the sport in The Goalie Group.
The Goalie Group has become a well sought-after goaltending training program in hockey thanks to their individually tailored approach to goalie development combined with their experienced coaching staff.

The Goalie Group also works closely with individual clients ranging from the NHL to minor hockey.
