Quick facts
About Goalie Academy
Founded by Gavin Armstrong in 2009, the Goalie Academy has delivered goaltender-specific training out of a private facility in Leduc County for over 17 years. CAHA-certified coaches run both one-on-one Personal Coaching Packages and traditional Hockey Camps held at local arenas, with services extending to Edmonton and Sherwood Park.
The academy focuses exclusively on youth goaltenders (U8–U13), combining technical development with the kind of individual attention that private sessions allow. Formats range from single consultations to ongoing coaching relationships built over multiple seasons.
Reviews point consistently to the long-term relationships coaches build with players — Armstrong in particular is noted for his ability to connect with young athletes and provide a steady, calm presence through the pressures of competitive play.
What parents say
“My 08 AA Ringette goalie has lived and breathed Gavin for 7 years, he is her calm. Gavin has a way to connect with the kids that is unparalleled. I love that this facility is built on passion and skill and that you become part of the family. We can't thank Gavin (and let's not forget Martin) enough.”
