A Flexible Process Built Around the Goaltender

Sport-O-Rama serves as the primary training location. Because ice availability can vary throughout the hockey season, sessions may also be arranged at other nearby rinks when appropriate. Location and availability are discussed before an on-ice session is confirmed.

Development does not have to stop when ice time is limited. Goaltenders can continue working through virtual performance consultations and interactive video development while waiting for an appropriate on-ice opportunity. This work can also help identify priorities that can later be applied during an on-ice session.

Yes. Mind In The Crease is designed to complement an athlete’s existing goalie coaching when appropriate, not replace it. Performance work, video development, and individualized development priorities can support what the goaltender is already working on with their coach.

Private sessions provide a fully individualized one-on-one training environment. Semi-private sessions are limited to a maximum of two goaltenders and are offered only when both athletes have compatible development needs and can benefit from working together while still receiving meaningful individualized instruction and feedback.

Performance consultations focus on how the goaltender prepares, thinks, responds, and performs throughout a season. Areas may include confidence, preparation routines, pressure management, responding to goals or mistakes, reset strategies, consistency, decision-making, and other performance needs identified through the goaltender’s individual profile.

Interactive Video Development can use the goaltender’s own game footage, selected professional game footage, or a combination of both depending on the developmental goal. Rather than simply watching clips, the session uses paused situations and guided questions to help the goaltender identify threats, anticipate developing plays, evaluate positioning, explain decisions, and improve hockey IQ and situational awareness.

No. Services can be used individually or combined depending on the goaltender’s needs. Development packages are available for athletes and families who want to integrate multiple areas of development while receiving a bundled rate.

Payment is requested after the service and scheduling details have been confirmed. For on-ice development, payment is not requested until the date, time, location, and ice availability have been confirmed. Once payment is received, the scheduled session is secured. Virtual services are paid after an appointment time has been confirmed and before the scheduled session. Cash may also be arranged for confirmed in-person sessions.

Plans can change, especially during a busy hockey season. On-ice sessions may be canceled or rescheduled without penalty with at least 24 hours’ notice. Changes made within 24 hours may be subject to a $35 late-cancellation fee because ice time has already been reserved. Virtual appointments may be canceled or rescheduled without penalty with at least two hours’ notice. Late changes due to illness, family emergencies, severe weather, or other unexpected circumstances will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Missed sessions without notice are nonrefundable. If a session must be canceled by Rob or because of rink availability, the family will always have the option to reschedule or receive a credit or refund.

Begin by submitting the Start a Conversation form with information about the goaltender and what you are looking for. Rob will personally review the inquiry and follow up to discuss the athlete’s goals, current needs, scheduling availability, and the most appropriate starting point.
