Neil has over 12 years of coaching experience. He has been coaching goaltenders in Toronto since the age of 15. Neil is currently the Director of Goaltending with Ohio Hockey Project. His approach and style of the game emphasize using a modern technical approach with an emphasis on athleticism. Hockey is an ever evolving game becoming faster and faster. No matter how big goalies get they will always have to be athletes and be reactive. Positioning is critical to a goaltender and they have to be able to get around the crease efficiently and effectively giving themselves the best possible chance of success.
