Reviews From Our Goalies

I’ve been working with Puck Warriors for about 5 years. At the start I was a kid who was cut from AAA 4 years in a row – stuck at AA. Since I started working with Steve my game has gotten dramatically better.

Within 2 years of working with Steve, I finally made my first AAA team and have accomplished things that my old self would not have even imagined.

Puck Warriors is a goalie school that will raise your performance and take you to that next step in your career. Puck Warriors have an amazing and friendly staff that creates a fun environment to learn.

I’ve been with Puck Warriors since I started playing goalie. Since Day 1, Steve and the staff have pushed me to my limits every session, and working with very good shooters that push me to stay on top of my game.

Using video and going into the fine details of my mistakes has definitely helped me at the next level. Steve has given me good pointers on the mental side of the game as well that definitely helps me leading up to big games or playoffs.

Puck Warriors is filled with great people that make sure you have fun and develop your game.

Puck Warriors Goaltending is by far the best goalie coaching option in Durham. I have been training with Steve Schut (Head Coach of PW) for about 4 years now. He has helped and continues to help me work on my skills and become the best goalie I can be. Not only that, but he has also helped me become a better person as well.

Puck Warriors Clinics are incomparable due to the amount of skills you learn, variety of drills and the experience level of all the coaches. The shooters will also challenge the goalies creating a unique competitive environment.

Steve has helped me my whole career and I wouldn’t be the same goalie today without him. He has come a long way and is one of the top goalie trainers in the province now.

I have worked with Steve for 10 years and he has helped refine my game. He is great at working on the little things that have a big impact on my game. He has helped get me to where I am today.

Puck Warriors not only gave me the opportunity to coach and mentor younger athletes but allows me to develop as a goaltender myself. Since starting with Puck Warriors I have improved in both mental and physical aspect of goaltending including puck tracking, rebound control, and confidence.

Overall, training with Puck Warriors pushes you to the next level while providing an an excellent environment.

Head Instructor Stephen Schut ran a professional, extremely well organized, high intensity and studious camp. The attention to detail was absolutely outstanding. Each drill was explained and demonstrated by a highly skilled goaltender that also taught throughout the camp at a station.

My son had the opportunity to cross over to the player camp (running simultaneously) and demonstrate his skills he was taught under the guidance of a goalie instructor. Huge, huge plus.

Coach Schut was not tied to a station rather he regularly attended each station equally ensuring all drills were being executed and taught to its highest level as demonstrated. Impressive!

The student to instructor ratio lent itself to a maximum learning experience.

This systematic approach to goaltending has improved my son’s game in regards to his approach, battle and understanding of this tough position.

Not only did my son learn a lot, he had fun. Lots of fun. He has already incorporated a stretch that was shown to him by Cat Morin ( an instructor at the camp) and stated his intentions of returning next year.

Thank you to Coach Schut and his entire team of instructors for a fantastic run camp.

My son decided to become a goalie full time at the beginning of the pandemic. With very few training opportunities available, we were concerned about his options for development.

We are So thankful that we found Puck Warriors, under the guidance of Coach Steve and his Staff, my son has developed a strong confidence on the ice and secured a position on a rep team, his first time trying out as a goalie!

My biggest compliment is how Steve speaks with the kids and provides constructive feedback so that they can make quick adjustments to their skills. We will be with him for years to come to help continue my sons development as a goalie!

Fantastic program and coaches. My son learned so much, and got so much individual coaching. Definitely going to do it again.

Absolutely amazing. My daughter went from first time putting on goalie equipment, and one year later was offered a 15AA spot. Amazing work by Steve and his team.

Steve’s skills are amazing, works great with the Kids. Helps me out time to time too!

Amazing program! My daughter loved it too. Been to other programs and this one is great. They actually spend time working with the persons individually.

Just wanted to give you a quick update – we are in a tourney this wknd and Kyle has been playing phenomenal – thank you for your help this summer at camp. It’s helped a lot!!!

He seems more confident and comfortable.

Since working with PW my son has become more confident in his positioning and attack on the shooters. PW ability to reiterate the small details within the world of the crease is very beneficial.

“They Rest, You Work” motto is well received. Thanks again!

Hi Steve,
I just thought you’d like to know that Leo’s team won the Silver Stick tournament in Pembroke this weekend.

We had a 3-1 win, 3-0 win, 0-0 tie in the round robin (2-0-1).
In the semis 3-0 win and the final 4-0 win.

Leo was the top goalie in the tournament with only 1 goal against! He played his butt off. When the team was hot they kept the shots down to a manageable amount and when needed Leo held us in there.

Perfect effort from the entire team.
Thanks for doing what you do!
