Oh my God, was Myles excited…..I think it hit him when he got home…..he called me at work –yapping, and yapping and yapping. He is so happy that he is going to be able to work on things he wants to work on like his reaction times, facing a challenge etc. etc. He couldn’t get over what all you could do with that band. He is so happy that he isn’t just standing b/w the pipes for the players but can actually work on training for him too! Not to take anything away from the players but the goalies NEVER get any training and let’s face it they are a HUGE part of any team so why are they always left out? I think for Myles, this opens so many opportunities for him now to take a leadership role for taking control of his own training and making his own practices fun yet challenging. That’s the best part is continuing to challenge the goalie at different levels and areas not of weakness but in areas they need to and want to develop in. The other great part is he can take it where ever he goes and that really is a huge bonus. He is really pumped to work on the drills.

Garry was really funny. He didn’t’ understand at first how it was going to work ( He hadn’t had a chance to go on the website) but as soon as you two started – wow he was amazed at what all this band can do….and I quote “Linda you have to actually see this thing. It doesn’t do it justice to just hear what it does but when you see Myles actually working with it, it is pretty neat.” He was bugging Myles that now he will have to bring it up a notch or two. He said Myles was pretty funny – it sure made it clear where and what he needs to work on without a doubt. I think they both were a little “shell-shocked” if you ask me: Garry at all it could do and Myles at all he has to do! Actually Garry went on the website last night and looked at all the drills! He actually was happy he didn’t watch the video first because he saw it live and in person then followed with the other and quite liked that. He really can’t get over how something that looks so simple actually does all that stuff. He was pretty impressed that you came out to explain it to them too! That was awesome and thanks you. I think Myles would love to see you again! He thought you had “the most awesome job”. The kids on the team had loads of questions for Myles too! They are pumped to try and challenge him while he is doing all this stuff. So you’ve effectively should I dare say it “injected the team a new level of interest and pumped them to step it up a notch out of sheer curiosity to beat Myles at his own game”. The challenge has been laid and it is now up to Myles to take it on. Pretty cool if you ask me!!!

I think your goalie band is awesome and would recommend it hands down. My hat is off to you for developing something that is obviously so needed on the market today for goalies at all levels and developmental stages. So from this goalie and mom – thank you and WOW. Highest Regards,

At this point since we have received your product I have only had one chance to use the band. So new innovative things to do with it at this point are very minimal, I would like to say though I had a chance to use the band earlier this week with my 9 year old son, and my first reactions were wow!!! It literally did in 10 seconds what I have been trying to do for 3 years through other techniques, to keep him out of the net to cut off angles and make himself as big as possible. So for right now I personally am tickled with this simple yet ingenious product, and the most important my son had a blast with it and seen for himself how many more pucks he was stopping with the use of it. And I can’t wait to try it during our goalie practices and get feedback from our other goalies. If any questions, complaints, concerns come up, I will sure to let u know as soon as possible. And I will keep u posted on feedback from our other goalies as we use it more often and start to work it into daily practices.

Thank you for the follow up email. The Goalie Band that I purchased is actually a Christmas gift for my son's hockey coach. The team will be presenting him with it this Sunday. I will be sure to forward your information to him so he can give you the feedback you’re looking for. I know he will be very excited to receive this gift, being an ex-goaltender. His wife said he's like a kid in a candy store whenever he talks about possibly getting one of these.

It has been great! As I mentioned before, I used it for a Midget/Junior conditioning session and the goalies loved it! Heck, the parents loved it! I will be using it extensively upcoming at the Hockey Canada Pilot regional Midget AAA 2 month camp. If you are in the area let me know and would love to get you out on the ice to work with the goalies and your awesome aid!

As the Head Coach of the "AA" Minor Bantam Rangers, and as a former goalie, I am convinced that the GoalieBand played a key role in the Team's dream season. Here are the facts for you to reach your own conclusion:

-9 new players promoted to the Team (including one goalie);
-1 loss in 28 league games;
-lowest GAA by season's end of 1.92 (with the next closest Team 's GAA of 2.61)
-most shutouts in the league;
-3 Tournament Championships;
-2007 "AA" City Championship!

Thanks for designing an effective practice aid for the goalie!

My overall feedback for the Goalie Band is positive. My Bantam goalie's took some time to get used to it. I think a workout routine of ideas as you described would be valuable as part of this.

Take Care and I wish you the best,

Warm Regards

I do think it is a good product and I would be willing to have you put up something up on your web site that we at Vaughn recommend the product as a training tool. I see great value in your product and anything that can help goaltenders be better, I am all for it as far too many goaltenders are out there who do not have good access to good coaching. Thanks

Best regards,
