AG Dir. of Goaltending Development, David
Alexander, has made the jump to the MJAHL, where he is the
goaltending coach for the Miramichi Timberwolves. Alexander is
impressed with the league thus far, but is certainly impressed
with the technical abilities of the goaltenders in the league as a
whole. "A significant difference at this level compared to
midget is that, in Miramichi we are focusing less on the technical
side of things. We are working on gaining speed and accuracy
with everything we do. Whether it be recovery's, slides,
saves, and so forth. The key to being on top in this league,
as I've seen so far, is speed."
And a speedy start for the Timberwovles goaltenders it has
been, Evan Mosher is third in the league statically. Also,
this past week saw Scott Fraser win his first start of the season.
"As I've told Evan and Scott, this year I will learn just as
much from them, as they will from me. I certainly look
forward to learning more about the league and what it takes to be
a sound goalie coach at this level."

Goaltending, is a member, recently achieved, an unparalleled
accomplishment as a Goaltending coach and consultant. At the
recent NHL entry draft held in Columbus on June 23, Brian had two more
goaltenders drafted into the NHL. They were the 21st and
22nd goaltenders who had attended Superskills GCG Prospects Camps and
were subsequently selected at the annual NHL draft. This
is, obviously a record number of draftees and speaks volumes about the
program and the quality of goaltender it attracts. All the best
moving forward, Brian. 
began
several years ago. As one of the most successful coaches in the NHL,
Mitch has worked with such notables as: Dominik Hasek, Mike
Dunham, Tomas Vokoun, Chris Mason, Steve Shields, Robb Stauber, Marty
Biron, Olaf Kolzig, Pekka Rinne, Brian Finley, Ty Conklin, Steve
McKichan (now Toronto Maple Leaf goalie coach), Clint Malarchuk (now
the Columbus Blue Jackets goalie coach), and Grant Fuhr (now Phoenix
Coyote goalie coach). "Mitch is an extremely knowledgeable
professional goaltending coach. It was indeed interesting to
have the opportunity to work with him even for a short period of
time".
