Thank you for the following kind emails.  It is always a great feeling to receive feedback about goalies having meaningful experiences in our programs.  It is with great satisfaction that Stop It Goaltending provides the training that goalies need to be successful, build self-esteem and grow a true passion for the sport and position. 

Stop It Testimonials

Dear Brian,

My son just finished his first week with you and your staff. We just wanted to say thanks for a great program, your staff and yourself couldn't have been more professional in the way you run your program and handle the goalies. 

Thank you!

Scott

Dear Brian,
I want to thank you for infusing Mark with the passion and desire to strive to a level that he never thought he could achieve.  Thank you for working with him and supporting him.  Thank you for always believing in him and staying in his corner and for making him so intense in his desire to work harder and achieve his goal to be the best he can be.

Dan

Dear Brian and John,
Thank you from Chris and myself.  He had a blast and we just think you guys and the kids you have working for you at your programs are the best!  These experiences are the kind that kids remember for a lifetime.  Have an awesome rest of the summer and we'll see you in the Fall.  Thanks again!

Suzanne

Dear Brian and John,
I want to thank you for everything this past Stop It session. This was my son Andrew’s first time in your program and he had a blast! Your staff was awesome and was very detail oriented. Two of my Austin Prep goalies spoke very highly of you and your instructors so I knew your program had to be good. Over all it was a great experience for my son and I look forward to signing him up for more training.

Thanks again,
Tommy

Dear Brian,
The goalie program was AWESOME!  I knew I could expect a lot from you and John, but was surprised at the quality of the entire staff. In my experience, having young men as teachers is a bit of a crapshoot. Not with your staff. Each counselor took their responsibility seriously, and took the time to teach and correct Matt.

I talked to a few of the guys in the locker room, and it was obvious that they felt it was their obligation to teach those coming up, just as they had been taught. A refreshing attitude! I can't tell you how frustrated I get when I sign Matt up for instruction, only to have a bunch of kids fooling around on the ice.

Your program was the perfect mix of serious instruction and fun! Best of all, Matt learned a lot and had a blast. I asked him how he compared Stop It to the one he attended last year. He said yours was 1000 times better!

Great job!
Lynne
 
P.S. I love your web site. Professional, informative and very useful!

Dear Brian,
My son Liam returned once again from goaltending camp excited and energized. He was very impressed with the college goalies (now NHL recruits) who assisted. He has called his coach and has organized work out session for the rest of the high school goalies for the summer.  Thank you for being the best goaltender program around...again!

(And he's been to many, including in Canada!)

Sincerely,
Colleen

Dear Brian,
Hearing about your program, I decided to send AJ to you this past summer. He is having a phenominal year. His record now stands at 12-2-4, with a GAA of 1.59.  With all the information and training he had through you, he has absorbed and executed it.  We feel that his record speaks for itself, and would recommend sending anyone to your Stop It, which we have!  We can't express how beneficial you were as a goalie instructor. Once again, thank you for the knowledge you shared with my son!

Thanks,

Al

Dear Brian,
We loved the program this summer.    I told many parents about your program who saw a difference in Ean this fall from when hockey ended. More importantly, I was impressed with the awareness of the child .  As a parent, we are always worried when leaving a child at any program. Your program always had a coach around and the children were never left unattended.  Your program was the only one out of the five that operated this way. Thanks for the opportunity...we will see you again this summer.

Laurie & Wally

Dear Brian,  
I have been wanting to tell you how much Teddy enjoyed your Summer Program.   It provided a high level of instruction and was very well organized. The fitness book that he brought home is worth its weight in gold.   As you probably know, most coaches don't know the proper fitness regimen for a goaltender, so it is wonderful to have a plan from an expert. Teddy has been following it religiously. He will definitely return next year. Thank you for providing an excellent opportunity for Teddy to continue to develop his skills. 

Judy

Hi Brian,
Dean and I had good trip back to Finland.  I would like to thank you once more for the week of training, which was outstanding: excellent know-how, great goalie coaches and shooters and a nice environment - all was good!  Dean is very keen to come next summer too!

Regards,
Chris

Dear Brian,
Thanks for giving Nick the oppourtunity this summer.  Nick said that you
have provided the best program that he has ever attended!

John

Dear Brian,
I want to Thank You for having Ben last week .You and your staff made him part of the team. You are a first class operation. If there is anything I can do for you let me know!

Thanks,

David

Dear Coach,
AWESOME week.  Brendan really enjoyed it!  You guys have done an impressive job.  We look forward to continuing working with you!

Ric

Dac,
I wanted to take a few minutes to express my deepest gratitude to you for putting your trust in me as well as the Athletic Evolution staff in allowing me to work with your fine athletes. It truly was a one of a kind experience.

Not only was it a resume builder, but it allowed me to see a wide range of athletic talents from beginner to elite.  There were things I liked about all of the groups. The young kids showed a real passion for the game, the kind I hadn't seen in some time. The college goalies/draft picks showed me a 'never say die, give it your all' attitude that is nothing short of inspiring. I'm sure I don't have to tell you that you have a wonderful business that promises to grow. I can only hope that one day my business becomes as successful and allows me to work with such talented athletes as yours. You truly are a lucky man. 

I wish you continued success as your business, dream, athletes, and passion for the game moves forward, and I truly hope that our paths will cross again sometime in the near future. Thanks again for a great summer.

Cheers,
Frank

Dear John,
To start I just want to say I was hugely impressed with you as a coach. As a father of a young goaltender, a former goaltender and instructor, your program is the only one that I've seen that is worth the money. I've been on the ice with quite a few guys as I've been teaching for about 10 years.

Tom

Hey Brian,
Just a quick note to say we’re enjoying having the opportunity to learn the sweet science (goaltending) from JP.   He’s a great guy, and my son is getting a lot out of the sessions.  Jack takes a lot of understandable pride in being part of the goaltending fraternity, and we’re looking forward to the goaltending days ahead.

Best regards,
Erik

Hi Brian / Hi John,
We wanted to say thank you for an excellent summer.  Nate never once complained about having to go get up early for training, in fact, most of the time he was prodding us along to get out of the house on time each morning.  He plans to attend the program again next summer.  You and the program certainly touched his core, something not easily done with a teen!  Nate received an excellent comment from his coach last night, something to the effect that he is a vastly improved goaltender than what he remembers from tryouts in the spring.  We look forward to working with you and the staff over the winter.

Thanks,
Peter and Renee

Dac,
I just wanted to send you a note and thank you for this season and the past few years that I've been lucky enough to work with you and John and the GCG. I can't overstate the role you guys have had in my career and can’t say enough about the passion all of you have for your work. I've always felt I've had you guys pulling for me, and I know the part of your job you love the most is watching guys work hard, love the game and succeed in their goals.

Hi Brian,
I wanted to drop a quick note about the clinic in Plymouth this week. Your team did an outstanding job with the children.  Whereas Vincent is on the younger side, I spent more time around the rink than the other parents.  I had a good chance to see how the drills were being run and how great the coaches were interacting with the kids first hand.  It was also refreshing to see that the coaches you have are "bought in" to the philosophy and not just going through the motions.  I talked with a few of them before the sessions and you could clearly see how genuine they are when describing the program and discussing some of the things that are done when the kids get older. 

All the participants learned quite a bit and it was great to watch the progress Vincent was making as each day passed. I know he had a great time with the coaches and other children in the program.  When asked how he liked the clinic, his words were, "Oh yeah, that was awesome!". 

I think he summed it up pretty well.  I am sure we will be seeing each other again as I will certainly put Vincent into your programs in the future as well as recommend the program to others. 

Thank you again! 
Vince

Hi Brian,
Tyger had an excellent experience at the rink with your team this week.  He really enjoyed himself, and he learned a great deal.  Thanks for the great experience; we look forward to a continued relationship with you and your organization.  To help Tyger pursue his desire to be the best goalie he can possibly be, we made a pledge to him that we would make as many kinds of opportunities and challenges available to him as possible.  Working with you and your team helps give him the professional training he needs to be ready for more challenges - THANK YOU.

Best regards,
David and Mindy

Dear Brian,
I want to give you some feedback on the clinic.  As you know, my son has participated in your summer program over the last 4 years and has enjoyed it immensely.  I now understand why.  From a kid perspective, your staff makes each drill (no matter how mundane) enjoyable and they push each child appropriately. The staff challenges each goaltender based on their individual level ofdevelopment.  From a coach's perspective, I have already noticed a marked difference in general skills (crease management, recovery, and rebound control) from each goaltender who has taken advantage of the clinic. 

I must also commend John and your staff in enforcing the finer skills such as hand/elbow placement.  Thanks to you and your staff for doing such a great job with our young goalies.  With your help, I look forward to watching our kids take their game to the next level over the next couple of months.

Regards,
Greg

Hello Brian,
Thanks for the call and guidance last night. Much appreciated! Probably the best advice I've ever received from a hockey coach.

Jake

Dear Brian,
Just a quick note of appreciation...Our daughter was involved in one of your AAA programs during July.  We have never seen such a huge improvement in her technique, motivation an overall joy of the game!

Her summer team finished in 1st place and are headed for the playoffs.  She has also been asked to move from her PeeWee Select team to the Minor team for the upcoming season as a result of the additional improvement.  We are so grateful for the terrific coaching by you, John Carratu and the rest of your staff.  Looking forward to seeing you again. 

Thanks so much,

Bob and Maria

Dear Brian and John,
Thank you for your email. I've been meaning to email you to tell you how much fun my son John had at Stop It and how much he learned. I was only able to watch part of the last on ice practice, but I was very impressed with the drills were doing and skills they were learning as well as being impressed by the individual attention that each goalie received. I'm certain that John will want to have more Stop It experiences.

Jennie

Dear Brian,

I wanted to thank you, John and the staff  for extending yourselves as you have to our children.  We so appreciate the high level of teaching, and enthusiasm.  It is such a wonderful opportunity for them. I was raving to a friend of mine about the experience for Mikie and it turns out that you have taught her son as well. Thank you.

With best regards, 

Hi Brian,
Our daughter has had the good fortune of having Mark Hansen as her Spitfire goalie coach for the past 4 years.  We began Stop It Goaltending in January. It truly made a huge difference in her skills. Mark is a great guy and a great coach. We really like your clinic.  See you around the rinks.
Cheryl

Hi JP,
Mike and I want to thank you for another great year of goalie sessions. Mike really enjoyed himself and made good improvements throughout the season. His Mite A team won the South Shore Championship last week in an overtime victory! 
Steve

Brian

I hoped to personally thank you for having Frank in the Performance Week; however, I didn't want to steal time from the long line of grateful students eager to do the same.  Frank was honored to be included in the week.   You and your staff offer the perfect combination of challenge, professionalism and fun -- he always rates your programs a solid 10 out of 10.   Frank is really looking forward to the GCG Prospects in a few weeks.  Thank you again,

Kelley
