The RAHA Goalie Development Committee is dedicated to providing the best training for our goalies, and we have been working hard to create that!   We will be partnering with M.E.G.A. Goaltending to bring experienced coaches to RAHA practices and clinics!

If you have any questions, please email the RAHA Goalie Coordinator, David Kovacs at davidk@rosemounthockey.org.

• MEGA Goaltending will be the sole evaluator throughout tryouts
• Goalie Skills Day (run by MEGA) will be held on Sunday, September 22nd, for all traveling-level goalies (except Jr Gold).
  • Note: 15U, 10U, and squirt goalies will complete the skill portion of tryouts in September then pause to complete the remaining days with the remainder of those levels. 
  • Skills will consist of 4 stations, each with a dedicated evaluator. Goalies rotate to each station, thus being evaluated by multiple evaluators. See below for the specific drills being evaluated. 
  • Goalies will not be evaluated during the player skills day
  • Skill day groups are as follows:
    • Goalie Skills Group 1: 10U, 12U, 15U, Bantam Goalies. Sunday, September 22, 2024 3:15 PM 4:15 PM
    • Goalie Skills Group 2: Squirt & PeeWee Goalies. Sunday, September 22, 2024 4:30 PM 5:30 PM 
• After team placement is complete, RAHA will provide the written evaluation portion from tryouts. This is intended to foster a development feedback loop from the tryout process (no numeric scores will be provided).

A numeric score and written evaluation notes are based on the following.

• Movement/Body Position
