Hi! I'm Mark Visentin, a former NHL goaltender, Ontario Hockey League (OHL) All-Star, National team member, and current Soo Greyhounds OHL goalie coach. For years, I've been working with minor hockey organizations, trying to fill the gap to improve goalie development. Along the way, I've witnessed multiple realizations:
Being a goaltender is a unique position that is often overlooked in terms of development programs, leaving parents to figure it out for themselves
Goalie coaches are putting together random drills minutes before an ice session while not following a proper program or tracking what has been worked on with each goalie. Therefore, goalies are taught random drills that aren't related to what they learned in the session prior, while gaining no actual feedback or plan moving forward
There is a lack of goalie coaches being present at all, giving no development opportunities for young goaltenders
Goalie coaches come in and out for on-ice sessions, giving parents no time to have questions answered or to gain any insight on how to handle being a goalie parent
With Netmindr™, my goal has always been clear: to create an environment where skills are taught in the proper order, teaching a true foundational program of on-ice skills while giving access to each and every tool used by professional goaltenders. I've been fortunate to coach many curious kids and want to give them every advantage and opportunity to learn ahead while growing their passion for the sport. Plus, I've put a lot of effort into providing value for parents, giving them the education they need, as well as a forum to have any questions answered that they may have. I look forward to working with you while making minor hockey more enjoyable for goalies and parents.
