Hear what our students and families have to say
"Thanks for the video of Nick and a great camp experience. It's always a good sign when the boys wish the camp was longer. Nick even said it was the best part of our San Diego vacation. He will definitely be a repeat camper."
— Kim Ilvento (Nick's mom)
"The video of our son from the camp was greatly enjoyed by our entire family, it was the feature entertainment of the night, possibly for the week! And in honesty, the camp did exceed our expectations. Josh really liked the coaching from all the instructors."
— Sandy Der, Father
"Thanks for giving my son a great week at goalie camp! He thought it was phenomenal! He is looking forward to a great hockey year!!"
— Lesley Varga, Mom of Marcus Tanko
"I want to thank both yourself and Bujar for your efforts with me this week. I had lots of fun and learned some new techniques. I'll be in Buffalo starting next week, but if I get home for a Friday coming up, you guys would be the first people I'd go to for a lesson. Wouldn't go anywhere else."
— Aaron Miller
"Harper was VERY motivated and anxious to keep playing and get into the season after camp. You guys do a great job with motivation and technique!"
— Sandy
"Luca had a fantastic week, enjoyed himself very much, and learned a lot about not only playing goalie, but being a goalie. The programming and delivery of the content by you, Bujar and your very qualified and caring staff exceeded all and any expectations. The video is an amazing teaching tool that we will use going forward."
— Marco and Loren Moras
"I want to thank you for all the tips and tricks you gave me. Gloves in front, pivoting before I move, not going down as fast / staying up longer, and helping me improve my go to plays. I can't thank you enough you are the best goalie coach I have had."
— Owen Kurth, San Diego
"We have seen such a tremendous growth in his play this year and would like to thank you for your 100% contribution to his success. Thank you and keep up the amazing work that you do!"
— Leanne Menna, Mom of Tim Menna
"Noah learned a lot at your training and loved attending ... He said it was so much fun!"
— Linda
"Hamilton two day camp was technically sound, very informative, organized and most important ... Shayne Jr. was treated with the upmost respect by all of the instructors and more importantly learned a tremendous amount due to your knowledgeable, constructive feedback. Shayne has not stopped talking about the camp and quite honestly he is beaming from ear to ear."
— Melissa & Shayne
"Your training is excellent not only because it creates great goaltenders but because many of the personal development skills they learn at The Crease translates into greater dedication in other areas of their lives (e.g. School)."
— Mark Bristol, Father of Charles Bristol
"This is his third camp in a row with The Crease and he really enjoys them. He told me that every camp he goes to is very different, the staff is friendly, the shooters are great and he learns so much. He told my wife last night that he didn't want it to end."
— Arnold Ceballos, Father of William Ceballos
"Words simply can't express how incredible of an experience it was for me to attend the Crease Training Goalie Camp. To be able to come to a camp made specifically for goalies was a 20-year dream finally being realized for me. I was extremely honored that you and Coach Jay chose me as the Warrior Of The Week."
— Lance Ning
"I realize you might say that you can only take what the kid wants to give, but, I think he gave more, but you brought that out of him, and for this reason, I write to you this note of thanks! It has definately been a great season and I look forward to having Zion train with you the next upcoming season!"
— Anthony Miceli, Father of Zion Miceli
"I want to again thank TCGA for your help getting him on the Devils this year as he had a great season (16-3-1 with 4 shutouts and a 1.6 Goals against) due in large part to the training he got at The Crease."
— Phil May, Father of PJ May Duffield - Devils 99 AA
"My son was entering Peewee and decided he wanted to become a goalie. I searched, investigated and talked to many people (all over Ontario) and the one name that kept coming up was The Crease Goaltending Academy for training. They took a non-goalie to a goalie with extreme skills and mindset. First year goalie being tops in HL, and call up for A level hockey in our town. AA and AAA are now in full view for him."
— Geoff Walford, Director - Whitby Minor Hockey Association
"Kyle managed to achieve both his goals - his team won the PeeWee A provincial gold medal and he committed to the Mississauga Hornets AA team. He has come along way in such a short time as a goalie and I believe it comes from his passion to play the position and your excellent training techniques."
— Kirk MacDonald, Kyle - PeeWee A Provincial Gold Medalist
"Dave and Bujar impressed us with their level of preparation, their ability to organize a fine staff, and their ability to interact positively with kids. These two together have a chemistry not found at any other hockey school we've been to."
— Tyson Maclean, Father of Gord Maclean, Atom A
"With years of professional hockey experience, asking for Dave's help is an easy decision. Quality people do quality work."
— Keith Primeau, Captain of the Philadelphia Flyers
"My son has been attending The Crease for five years now, and we wouldn't think of going anywhere else. Dave and his staff have seen my son through his days of wearing player skates and borrowed equipment in house league, all the way to AAA. They have been able to adjust their techniques to the level of my child's development."
— Marjory and Rob Faion, Eric Faion PW AAA
"When my son went for hockey try outs he ended up getting picked for a team two levels above what he was playing on as a defenseman last year. The training that he's taken at the crease has made him a solid goal tender in a very short period of time. His moves on the ice are professional looking and he's never caught out of position."
— David FitzGerald, Eric Fitzgerald, HL
"The Crease gives that opportunity and so much more, with amazing instruction from Dave Dolecki. It is a definite win-win for goalies of all ages."
— Boyd Deveraux, Detroit Red Wings — Stanley Cup Champion 2002
"The Crease staff are dedicated teachers with excellent communication skills. Dave Dolecki's passion and enthusiasm will inspire all his students to achieve their potential and still have fun. His training methods are exceptional."
— Ray Emery, Ottawa Senators NHL
"It is rare to find someone with both Dave's extensive knowledge AND the ability to teach kids in a manner they can understand and relate to. Dave and Boo are the best!"
— Joe Duffy, Parent
"I like going to The Crease because we don't do the same drills over and over. It is always different and interesting."
— Ryan Duffy, Atom AAA Goalie
"It's a pleasure dealing with such a good organization who's interest are for the kids. Thanks again."
— Bob Josza, Stew Josza
