MISSION: Davis Goaltending strives to give back to Pittsburgh Hockey. The school offers very dedicated, personalized and meticulous private and semi-private ice hockey goaltender instruction. High standards of integrity, respect, work ethic, dedication, competition, loyalty, academics and friendship are instilled.
At Davis Goaltending, a student is taught and encouraged to master the fundamentals of the ice hockey goaltender position. This is done through regimented training consistently over time. New skills are taught and applied in quality drills that emphasize muscle memory that lead to instinctual movements and effective decisions in game play.
Everyone who has ever made professional ice hockey has put in the time and focus as a student of the game to master the fundamentals and hone/learn their craft. They sought out the best teachers and learned how to play the game. It takes what it takes to be successful. It will always be that way.
