If anybody has trained there please feel free to post your thoughts on what you have done there. Tell if you like it, if you don't like it, what you liked, what not....

Personally, when I used to go there, I liked it.

I can't afford it for my kid

You are really get a core of good trainers with the Stauber method taught; some teach it better than others.

A player will get out of it what they put into it.

You can always tell the goalies that have gone through Stauber Training.

I see too many of them still going down too quickly. The butterfly technique seems to have become a security blanket too often in the wrong situations. IMO

Biggest problem with any goalie training is transferring it from the training to the game and then taking the game performance and evaluating it into specific training required to work on the weaknesses.

Does Stauber allow you to bring in game recordings to evaluate game performance?

The Stauber Goalcrease is a solid place to go for training. They use very good methods and make you work hard, depending on who your instructor is. But, I have seen great goalies, go there too much. They become too focused on the mechanics of being a goalie, and they no longer can make reaction saves. Its all about if they are doing it right or not. Which yes, it helps if you do it right, but in the end, you just have to make the save, regardless of if it looks right or not. Otherwise, the place is great. They do game film review if you bring it in, I also did mental training there with Justin Johnson, the former Gopher goalie. I highly reccomend the place, just don't go there every day or you will become burned out.

By the way, it's worth the money.

I went there multiple years and I loved it. What little skill I have/had as a goaltender came as a direct result of going to the Goalcrease. Staff were all very nice and helpful but still are able to push kids and have them get the most out of their experience and the large amounts of money being spent. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone who can afford it.

My son went there his junior and senior year a few years ago, once every two or three weeks on Sundays starting in October and through he season after doing Stauber's camp during the summer. We didn't have much in the way of a goalie coach at our HS at the time, and the one-on-one helped him tremendously.

This, in no way, differs from the "What is the biggest rival in high school hockey" or "Joe Schmoe, tell me your thoughts" threads. If he were to take this thread down I would lose all respect for this forum.

This post is based on what I have heard not my personal experience.

One of the most important things about goaltending is angles, and having the right ones. If you have the right angle you cover the maximum amount of net. Now from what I hear there isn't much angle work at Stauber, also from what I have seen goalies who use Stauber tend to let rebounds sit right in front of them rather than covering them up or smacking it away.

we call it stauber flopping school, and i agree it is about angles you do cover the maximum amount of net,I know him personally and really like the guy but he has different ideas,we used the stand up style when we worked at goalie schools.

The style of game goalies play now has DRASTICALLY changed from say 10 years ago even. Staubers teaches goalies the new style of goalie while working with each goalies strengths and weaknesses. Staubers is the best thing that ever happened to me my game has increased exponentially and i havent even done that many sessions. It is definitely worth the money.

you really get the most out of the clinic if you do individual sessions every week at least plus camps in the summer. I don't think its a thing that can be done inconsistently, because you don't get the most out of it, and then cost becomes to much of a burden. but doing it consistently is the best training around. just my opinion

Robb has an entire camp dedicated to angle work every summer. not calling you out, just clearing that up

I wouldn't recommend the Grand Rapids go-out-to-the-blue-line-to-challenge-the-shooter goalie school, either... worked in '80 only because nobody could believe the chances Casey was willing to take.

That was pretty sweet. You had to have a lot of faith in your defensemen. When Kennedy and Rapids played in the quarters, there's a play where the Kennedy goalie goes out like 20 feet to challenge and angle shot. I know the odds are with you going to the knees, but I prefer the standup period stylistically. The bad butterfliers today look like their just dropping cause their not very skilled.

How do "odds" tell you to go one way while the "stats" tell you the other?

Huh? They would go together.

Sorry I misread you.

He did take some unbelievable chances sometimes. I seen him do things like that several times.
You are right. He did things that you probably wouldn't teach to a kid.
He just had the instincts to make it work.
He was definitely one of a kind.

Back when the tourney really meant something!
