I went to the Jim Park goalie school a few years back and I've got to say, it improved my game 1000%! They know what they're talking about, and they're damn good at teaching it. But be warned, it is quite intense. I was in high school when I took it, and in pretty good shape. I lost about 9 pounds that week. I think it's 5 hours on ice a day. that's A LOT. I don't know how it is for young kids. I guess it all depends on his age. You might want to just check out local rinks for goalie clinics. He might not learn as much, or from experts, but he'll still learn.

Check out the videos. they're kind of expensive, and the first one is a bit old but the position hasn't changed all that much. I still review it every once in a while and I've been playing for 12 years!

BTW, the camp is in Toronto during the summer. I think they've got a web page.

also, check out the Huron schools in teh states. I've heard good things about them. can't speak for them myself though.
...and that's all I've got to say about that
