DYHA ADDS GOALTENDING SPECIALISTS TO SKILLS STAFF

DYHA is pleased to announce that Peter Alfano and Kyle MacDonald have joined the Skills Development staff as travel goaltender coaches. Peter and Kyle will provide in-practice goaltender instruction over the next two months as a complement to our weekly ProCrease goalie clinics.  Working with DYHA goalies in live drills and game-like situations, as well as one on one, will help to further refine movement, technique and tactics that are critical for the development of our goalies.  Skills Coach Brett Farson noted, "We are excited to have Peter and Kyle leading instruction for our goalies and believe that in-practice instruction allows for another level of goaltender engagement.  DYHA continues to invest in goaltender development as it is critical to train and retain our existing goalies and to attract new goalies to our program."
