For Goalie Coordinators & Coaches
How the Partnership Works
An association goalie partnership with a clear path from first conversation to a goalie program your association can run, renew, and grow, without asking your team coaches to become goalie experts overnight.

A Partnership That Is Easy to Approve and Easy to Run
The Goalie Coach You Have Been Missing
If you are the person who looks after your association's goalies, you already know the gap. Team coaches are stretched across a full roster, tryouts judge goalies like skaters, and the best goalie families quietly look elsewhere. A MEGA partnership brings a goaltender-only specialist into your program. We help you make the case to leadership, fit goalie work into how your teams already practice, and deliver development you can point to at the end of the season.
- Goaltender-only expertise, focused on nothing but the crease
- Resources your team coaches can use without being goalie specialists
- Evaluation criteria built for goalies, not skaters
- Current technique plus mindset tools for the crease and life beyond hockey
The Association Goalie Partnership, From First Call to In-Season
Every partnership follows the same five stages. Your coordinator stays the single point of contact, and MEGA carries the goalie-specific work.
01
Consult
We learn what your goals are, how many goalies you have, the levels and girls' programs you run, and how your teams practice and evaluate goalies today. A free consult gives you a clear baseline.
02
Proposal & Approval
We help you build a clear, budget-appropriate proposal grounded in your association's real goalie gap, ready to bring to your director or board.
03
Implementation
Once leadership signs off, we set the schedule, onboard your coaches, and give you communication tools to explain the program to goalie families.
04
In-Season Delivery
MEGA delivers goaltender-only training, practice-integration resources, video review where included, evaluation input, and mindset development throughout the season.
05
Season Review & Renewal
We review the season with you and leadership, gather coach and family feedback, and plan what to keep, add, or expand next year.
Two Ways to Deliver Goalie Development
Associations differ in size, ice, and distance from our facilities. Most partnerships use one model or combine both.
On-Site Partnership
MEGA goalie coaches deliver goaltender-only training and evaluation support for your association.
- Hands-on, on-ice goalie coaching
- Specialist input at tryouts and evaluations
- Structured, season-long curriculum
Connected Coaching for Teams
A remote model that gives every team weekly goalie resources and support, with no on-ice specialist required at each practice.
- Weekly goalie-specific training resources
- Video breakdowns
- Practice-integration tools and free consult

Coordinator Questions, Answered
Straight answers for the person bringing MEGA into the association. Need more help? Contact us.
Will our team coaches actually use it?
The resources are built to fit how teams already practice, so coaches can apply goalie-specific work without becoming specialists. MEGA also supports coaches through onboarding and during the season.
How do I convince our board this is worth the budget?
We work with you to frame a clear, budget-appropriate case built on your association's real goalie gap. The free proposal gives you something concrete to show leadership, and our board resources help you present it.
Can you serve all our levels and our girls' teams?
Partnerships support goalies at all youth levels, including girls' programs, with development matched to each stage.
We are not in the metro. Can you still serve us?
Yes. MEGA partners with associations across Minnesota and Wisconsin, and Connected Coaching for Teams brings goalie development to any rink.
Our goalies and coaches are already short on time.
MEGA integrates goalie work into normal practices and offers connected formats, so development fits the schedule instead of competing with it.
What happens after the first season?
The partnership is designed to renew. After the season review, you can keep what works and add levels, girls' teams, or connected resources for the next season.
