About Saga Goaltending

We want to help our students build upon the skills they already have, and help make them the best goalie they could be.

In 2008, Devon volunteered with a minor hockey U-11 hockey team. After a few seasons, Devon gained quite a following; working with other goalies in the association, and expanding out to other communities. In 2016, Devon started discussing with goaltenders parents how goalie coaching is unaffordable for the average goalie wanting to improve their skill, and more times than not the teams coaches were oblivious to the unique position the goaltender held, thus Saga Goaltending Academy was formed.

By the time SAGA Goaltending Academy fully opened in 2018, Devon had been playing as a goaltender for 22 years and had been coaching for more than 10 years. Over the years, he’s gained skills and advice from professional goalies and coaches that he now passes down to his students in the academy.

In their first year of operation, Devon and his team had a mission statement to keep costs affordable for parents, and by using word of mouth and recommendations from other parents they have successfully grown. To date this mission statement stands strong, relying on word of mouth and the strong showing of our goaltenders development to build our brand across Alberta.
