Ron Veit has been involved with goaltending for over 25 years and has trained goaltenders at every   level of hockey. While working with the WHL, Ron has coached and has helped to develop talents like Carey Price and Chet Pickard, both being first round draft picks. While coaching with the Jr. A team Burnaby Express (BCHL), Ron won the Championship of Canada. Through the years Ron has trained many NHL goaltenders including talents such as Olaf Kolzig, Felix Potvin, Dan Cloutier, Damian Rhodes and Peter Scoudra to name a few.

Tanner Thomson, Head Instructor

Tanner has 15 years of experience as a goalie playing at all levels including Jr Hockey in Alberta, Canada. He continues to strengthen his skills playing against some of the best NHL starts living in the Vancouver area. This is Tanner’s 5th year as an instructor at Veit Goalie School, with the last two years in the position of head instructor. 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

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.
