Tanner’s coaching style is rooted in the understanding of child development, including concepts such as, “learning is developed from connection and connection is developed through understanding each individual’s needs to lead them to become the best version of themselves on the ice and off the ice” -Tanner Thomson

CAMPS & Sessions
SYNTHETIC ICE TRAINING
Here at Veit Goalie Schools we use Synthetic Ice in our Training Centres because we believe Synthetic Ice gives our clients a more personal and detailed approach to their learning and goal tending development. Training on synthetic ice can be the fastest way to improve your game in the in the least amount of time. Synthetic Ice allows to continually recreate simulated game situations while observing and gathering information on your performance.
1) What is Synthetic Ice? Synthetic Ice is a high performance synthetic surface that has been in existence for over 50 years and is used in professional hockey training centres all over the world
2) What are the benefits of training on a Synthetic Ice surface? Training on synthetic ice requires approximately 10% more effort than training and skating on real ice because it provides a slight resistance while skating or when performing technical goalie-specific movements. This resistance aides in a goaltender's training by building the specific muscles used by goaltenders while also increasing the individual's level of conditioning. The end result is a faster stronger more agile performance by the goaltender when transitioning back to real ice surfaces.
3) What effect will the Synthetic Ice surface have on my skates? The only effect Synthetic Ice has on your skates is that you may find your blades become dull at a slightly faster rate than you would see on real ice. This simply means you may have to sharpen your skates more frequently depending on how sharp you prefer them.
Through review and discussion we help you correct any inconsistencies or technical difficulties you may be having ensuring you are playing at your best while also being proactive in the prevention of injuries. We believe training on a synthetic ice surface is the fastest most relevant way for a goaltender to advance their game and reach their full potential as a player.

TESTIMONIALS
"We cant thank Ron enough for the great job he's done coaching Brian. The first year Brian played goal he finished the season with only four wins the whole season.That same summer Brian attended two of Veit's summer goalie camps and then he began taking private one-on-one sessions with Ron twice a month."
"We are very pleased to say that after only two summer camps and a total of 14 private sessions with Ron, Brian's team won the Banner for their league!!"
Thanks Veit!
-T. Jackson
"I am a first year Bantam in my third season of taking lessons on the synthetic ice at Veit's New Westminster Training Centre. Ron's technique allows me to move efficiently around the crease in response to movements of the puck through the zone."
" ..."The synthetic ice training requires me to execute the drills correctly otherwise I fall and lose my balance. This carries over to my game because the correct execution of skills leaves me better prepared to respond to the next event".
- Quillon Bowman
"Having trained as a pro goalie with Ron throughout my 12 year professional playing career, I can say that he is one of the best goalie coaches/mentors in the business.
Ron´s guidance and partnership has lead me to start my own goalie schools in Europe, which has become A top European program (Canadian Global Goaltending Camps).
Now being a professional coach for the last 4 years in the top German and Austrian leagues (DEL/EBEL)
I still look for Ron´s consultation and new ideas on Goaltending."
-Varian Kirst
Team Manager/ Goalie coach
Vienna Capitals
Hey Ron, great training session last night. I really enjoy the technical fine details which is exactly what I need in my game playing against junior level type shooters. You’ve been instrumental in getting my game to a very high level, which was only a dream when I started training with you. Much appreciated.
What time are you going to North Van today to watch the pro league?
