Minnesota Goalie Camps Built for Summer
Why a Goalie-Only Summer
The SDP gives goalies a dedicated block of time, structure, and repetitions for the position. It is not a full-team camp where the goalie waits in line for shots. Every session is built around the crease, and every coach on the ice coaches goalies.
- Goaltender-only sessions, never shared with skater drills
- On-ice and off-ice development in one program
- Video feedback so goalies can see what to fix

SDP Questions
Straight answers for goalies and parents. Don't see your question? Contact us.
Is registration open for the 2027 Summer Development Program?
Yes. Registration for 2027 is now open. Sessions run June through August, with the July 4th weekend off.
When will 2027 dates and pricing be released?
2027 registration is now open. The program is $1,860.
How is the SDP different from a summer hockey camp?
The SDP is goaltender-only. Goalies are not squeezed into skater drills or left waiting for shots. Every on-ice session, dryland block, and video review is built around the position.
What ages can attend?
The SDP runs two age groups: Mite–Squirt and PW–BTM–HS. Goalies train in the group that matches their age, and girls' goalies are welcome in both.
How does video feedback work?
Goalies receive video feedback through CoachNow during the program. It lets goalies and families see exactly what is being worked on and why.
Will the SDP get my goalie onto a higher team?
No program can promise that, and we don't. The SDP is designed to prepare goalies with the reps, feedback, and habits that support them at tryouts and through the season.
