Roy P

Goalie Coach

Roy Perfetti

Owner and co-founder of P.A.D.S. Roy works with ice hockey goaltenders to deliver comprehensive, professional, and superior training to goalies of all ages and levels of play. Unlike the competition, P.A.D.S. takes a personal approach and builds trust with the goalies. We take a genuine interest in the success of all the goalies we train. This approach provides the goalies with the very best instruction, and superior results.

P.A.D.S. School of Goaltending was founded in 2009 and in a short time has grown to be one of the finest goalie instructional programs in the Midwest. We pride ourselves on bringing practicality, organization and structure to each session.

After years of observing, and coaching in drill laden clinics, we felt there was a more practical way to teach the goaltending position. As with most of the goalie clinics in the marketplace, there is a huge void in teaching game situations to the goalies. We felt the timing was right for a change and a different approach. By seeing the lack of game situation coaching only reinforced our beliefs that teaching the fundamentals through game situations are the keys to successful battle tested goalies. We believe in positive reinforcement through strict fundamental instruction, and building confidence through success. . . very simple, very effective.

Our entire coaching staff has worked with several organizations in the Midwest including College, Junior programs, Clubs (AAA, AA, A), high school, and house programs.
