Southwest is running 5 goalie development sessions this season with Derek Purfield. Derek and his team of Goalie Coaches will help our goalies to be well rounded goaltenders and help them to maintain, develop and gain new skills and knowledge to become a stronger goalie. These sessions will have a low goalie to Coach ratio.
Meet the Instructor!
