At a time of the year when most kids are cooling off with a swim in the ocean or a neighborhood pool, 22 serious goaltenders were cooling off with a different form of H2O — ice.

Craig Fiander, founder and director of Textbook Goaltending, held his 10th annual Elite goalie clinic this past summer at Ice Land in Hamilton. Fiander, a native of Canada, has a professional resume including stints with the Montreal Canadians AHL affiliate, the Rochester Americans and the Trenton Titans (ECHL).

A graduate of Princeton University, where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in economics and a certificate in political economy, Fiander developed his goaltending school with a philosophy centered upon using academic and goaltending skills to ultimately play college hockey.
