Dahan Goaltending - Goalie Hockey School

Dahan goaltending has played a tremendous role in my development as both a goalie and person. The passionate, positive, and focused atmosphere is infectious and creates a learning environment for all goalies to become their best. They really take the time to teach you properly and pay attention to every detail to catch little things that would be overlooked by most goalie coaches. The instructors are extremely professional and knowledgeable and definitely the best around. Dahan goaltending has not only gotten me to the next level but allowed me to excel with confidence. With Dahan hockey it isn’t just about technique but it is about mindset and a lifestyle to make you the best goalie you can be.

We traveled from Mexico to see the Dahan Goaltending clinics that we had seen on YouTube and Instagram, and by far they exceeded our expectations, since the professionalism with which they perform makes each session a lot of work and learning, giving personalized attention and immediate feedback and with much respect to each of the participants. Our daughter returned very happy and motivated, wanting to apply what she had learned and hoping to return soon to continue perfecting her position.

My son is in love with the game and at a very young age (born 2010) he has come along way in a short period of time. We have had the privilege of having conversations with several goalie clinics, instructors and coaches. These forums included training and advice from OHL goalie coaches that I have had the pleasure of meeting. All have had a positive impact on my son's development to the point that in a months time he will be trying out for a triple A team and has the opportunity to make it. A big part of it has become Dahan.In the past month, I had discovered Dahan Goaltending and had him attend a day camp along with the March Break Camp, and was thoroughly impressed with the training regime the attention not just to on-ice development but the off-ice, mental, and physical training that they provided. The level of professionalism and passion that Nick Dahan and his team have displayed has provided me with a permanent home for my son's training moving forward. Being a former goalie and a goalie coach, I am most impressed with the peer support of the other high-level goalies that my son is surrounded with. As we all know its expensive for goaltending training, however, this is a worthwhile investment, if you are looking for solid goaltending instruction.

I highly recommend Nick Dahan’s goaltending school to anyone wanting to take being a goalie more seriously, to develop and up their game. Nick’s teachings helped propel our son from being a select goalie and jumping to AA in one single leap. In fact he was picked from approximately ten goalies trying out including a AAA goalie wanting to drop down. Dahan Goaltending is the elite goalie school of the GTA.

By far the best training my son has been to!Nick and his team deliver the best and expect the best. My son has improved every aspect of being a better goaltender because of Dahan Goaltending.We have noticed a big difference both in skill and confidence in him as he plays at the AA level with the objective of making AAA.I highly recommend Dahan Goaltending school for all goalies who are serious about the game and want to be trained by the best out there. We are from Erin and they offer programs locally. You will not be disappointed.

Nick and his team take great care to prepare goalies physically for the demands of the position & also work to develop the mental toughness and resiliency that is critical to succeed as a goalie.Every student is held to a high standard from an effort stand point & are taught to be supportive to their goalie partners and team mates. The coaches break down the fundamentals of each drill and work with kids in a positive way until they master what they are working on. There is emphasis placed on replicating game situations in the drills as well and Nick and team work hard to keep the kids engaged.

The Dahan goalie school and camps are without a doubt one of the most professionally run organized programs you will find.My daughter 2005, made the PWHL under Nick’s instruction. See Lyla McKinnon video, YouTube.Nick starts every session with great warmup drills and proceeds to ramp up the training to max level. He expects the maximum effort from each goalie - matching his and his awesometraining teams’. Seriously, don't waste your money if you’re not prepared to drain the tank for his ice sessions. You’ll only get out what you put in.We found Nick a year ago and feel extremely fortunate that we did.I almost don’t want to tell anyone about him - in case he fills up! :)

Our 09 son is approaching his third season training with Dahan Goaltending and he continues to want more. High-level sport can be intimidating and with the guidance he has received from Nick and the coaching staff; his focus and confidence have dramatically increased.Our son loves attending Goalie Dynamics where every participant is engaged and encouraged to push themselves to their full potential. There is an age range for this program which gives younger goalies the drive to strive and older goalies the opportunity to demonstrate their technique. This model of training fosters confidence and camaraderie amongst the goalies and honestly it’s an amazing thing to watch.The intensity of all of the programs is high but the technique and resilience gained, leaves a goalie that is mentally prepared to take the ice in any game. Nick offers a clear and consistent expectation that builds a formidable foundation. Our son thrives on the philosophy where the more he gives the more he gets out of each training session and this attitude was fostered by attending Dahan programs.Our goalie has found an appreciation for yoga and nutrition after Dahan’s March break and summer goalie camps. Nicks camps are well rounded and offer so much, wether it’s for the day or the entire week.Dahan Goaltending is top-notch training you can trust, grow, and take pride in a-tending. I know our son does and he will continue to develop with this dynamic group of professionals.Sincere thanks for all your commitment and dedication to quality goalie training.Marc & Amanda Hoewing

For my son, it all started by filling in for our goalie in house league that didn't feel like playing anymore. He had never put on a set of pads in his life. He was in LOVE! Now with this new passion how were we supposed to say no? So we went out in search of someone who could give him the skills and tools that he would need to succeed. At first, we were discouraged with the instruction that we found as it did not seem like our son was getting it". BUT that all changed when we met Nick. His knowledge

Dahan Goaltending has been instrumental in our sons development. The improvements we have seen in his skills over the last 4 years are simply amazing. Nick is passionate about hockey and is by far the best goaltending coach we have seen. Our son looks forward to every training session with him and always comes off the ice with a smile on his face. I would highly recommend trying a session at Dahan, guaranteed you will not be disappointed!!
