What is the “Interest in Online Goalie Fitting Prior to an Event/Camp” option? QUESTION #10      

 (Free equipment fitting events can ignore this)

As a part of registering with The Goalie Academy it is required to fill out a goalie equipment form. We are dedicated to ensuring that every goalie that we work with has access to gear and is equipped properly. Once the Paperwork is handed in, we review each players’ forms and pictures. If the equipment appears to be fitting correctly, we put the paperwork aside until the goalie is ready for new gear. If the equipment appears to not be fitting correctly one of our goalie equipment specialists will be reaching out to go over the equipment fitting information and schedule a time to have either an in-person or virtual goalie fitting. 

If you want to guarantee that we call or meet with you at the rink, please write YES. 

If you do not wish to hear from us, please write NO. We will not contact you so long as we do not have any concerns with the current fit of your goalies equipment. 

What is the “Interest in help finding gear” option?     QUESTION #8 If Yes please Email us ASAP

Goalie equipment shopping is exciting, but it comes with many challenges and can at times be very stressful. Oftentimes I get questions from parents such as…. When should we be thinking about new gear? How can you tell if gear no longer fits? What brands and pad styles would you recommend for my goalie? Is It Safe for my goalie to be in slightly used gear? How long do you recommend they stay in slightly used gear?  Where can I go to make buying gear more affordable? What website or person should I trust because they all contradict one another? I don’t have easy access to a hockey store, what do I do?

To lessen the stress on goalie parents and goalies we have developed a personal shopper program where we meet with goalies and their parents to answer any questions and help guide them through the goalie fitting and buying equipment process. 

To find out more information on this Service write YES next to the blank and one of our experts will be in contact with you. Otherwise contact Hannah Shultz by email at [email protected].
