Capital Clubhouse is proud to have Coach Jared Kaufman bring his years of goaltending experience (University of Buffalo and Buffalo Sabres Practice Squad) to the rink and hosting another Limitless Goaltending Summer Camp for our local youth athletes!

Goaltending is all about being the backbone of your team and at Limitless Goaltending, we understand the importance of what goaltenders need to stay highly competitive in an ever-evolving game. From tracking pucks and save selections, to making good reads and recovering properly, each camp takes the most in-depth look at what is required to be the best.

This Camp will focus on everything from basic skating work to shutting down high intensity situations. We prepare our goalies to go out for battle and perform at every level. A core understanding is that each player learns differently and sometimes, what is most valuable to a goalie is one-on-one moments that build a lasting partnership between players and Coaches.
