Bravo footage of 2006-07
This is a montage of my 2006-07 highlights. I hadn't played for 4 years and was getting back into it at the moment, my technique needed improvement and my positioning was terrible. But still a good montage. With perseverance and hard work, I made it to a professional camp in 2010. I am working on a new highlight montage that I should upload by the end of the year. The new version is less spectacular and shows almost no desperate saves due to technique and positioning but will show goalies out there that you can upgrade to a new and improved version of yourself if you put in the work. Practice is key! Enjoy.

theres no way you where invited to a "pro" camp after taking 4 years off and playing beer league. impossible... sorry
there where some good saves, a lot of the rebounds and stuff coulda been avoided but you where able to stop them so it doesn't matter
Average beer leaguer at best. By "made it to a pro camp" do you mean you went to an open try out? Take it from someone who went to a real pro camp: you wouldn't survive. Can't wait for your next video of your NHL highlights.
p.s. We really need a rolling eyes emoticon BADLY.
On a nicer note, I can't wait for the new video. I thought for sure by the end of the last one you'd try flashing the glove on a shot to the five hole. Hoping there's less antics and more fundamentals in the next one.

Wow, i was actually thinking you look very quick. Some really nice looking glove saves. Im sure your positioning could be better but i thought you moved around the crease really well. Of course i have no experience regarding pro level camps so i cant comment on that. However ive been working hard for about 2 years now developing my game and i dont move that well!
he'd survive, with a massive sun burn on the back of his neck... and maybe zero to little self confidence.Originally Posted by synesthete

but to comment on your play, i'd have to agree, flashing the glove like that is completely unnecessary and makes you look like a... d-bag imho. your not patrick roy. also stay in control of your body more, you're all over the place, if you ever play against people who can rip a 90mph+ clapper its gunna sneak through your 6/7 hole. i actually cant wait to see your next video because you're editing is good and its evident you spend a lot of time and care into your videos.
What was the last league you played? You went to a professional camp last year? Where?
Your trapper in the video is in the old-fashioned position before fingers-up existed. Nice snags.

Are you doing a happy dance or scratching up the crease at the beginning?
Wow guys I didn't know there was this much haters on the forums. Goalies should stick together and support each other instead of *****ing.
This beer league gave me the opportunity to get back in shape. I needed to understand what I was doind wrong so I filmed myself. Soon after, I was playing with better leagues, practicing on and off ice 6 days a week for a 3 year periord, working on my craft. I then started to play Senior and slowly was getting much better then I ever think I would've been. I was fortunate to have an ex-NHL goalie coach on my side to help me improve at a much greater pace. Playing in a summer pro league with NHL and AHL players helped me alot too. I finally got invited to a East Coast pre-camp in August of 2010 and performed incredibly well. 5 of the 80 players present at the camp were chosen, I was fortunate to be the only goalie selected. So I went to the main camp 3 months later and did not make the cut. My performances were very good and I couldn't of asked for a better experience.
I did not make a NHL or AHL camp, I got offers to go tryout in Europe, nothing more. I am still very happy about my accomplishements. I encourage goalies everywhere to pursue their dreams if they think they have the ability, talent and perseverance. Do not let people lower your confidence. Some players in the NHL at the moment where considered like garbage a couple of years ago and made it through the storm.
Hey bro, introduce yourself in the intro thead. I think some thought you were too cocky in your first post. You talk about pro camp, you are wearing all pro-level Reebok Premier II gear (eh, so some people might expect a big show and won't be forgiving), and you got rap music mixed into the video.
I'd like to see more video submissions and whatever wisdom you can share.

i'm not trying to act like a dick, sound snobby, nor act mean in ANY way. But what does pro-level equipment have to do with acting cocky? all i've ever worn was pro level stuff?
