Try Goaltending sessions announced!

BDMHA is pleased to offer some Try Goalie sessions to start the season.

Space is limited to 20 goalies per session with first priority given to goalies from within the BDMHA boundaries. If space remains, we'll happily extend the invitation to others to join us!

The sessions will be led by Jack Hartigan, professional goaltending instructor.

We will have Pads, Gloves & Sticks for all goalies as well as goalie chest protectors for most.
Each player should come with their full regular equipment bag as they will need most of it.
We will have volunteers on hand to assist the parents & players in getting the young goalies dressed and on the ice.
If you have your own equipment, you're welcome and encouraged to use it.
