Testimonials

“As the goalie coach for our U18 Tier 1 program, Jason has been so much more than a welcome presence with players and coaches - he has made a large impact on both the goalie and team performance. Jason is committed to the development of our goalies every time he steps on the ice with our team, and brings the perfect mix of competitive edge and enthusiasm to our practices."

“Growing up I never really had a favourite team or goalie that I looked up to, instead I had amazing coaches that I looked up to. Jason Van Spronsen has been a huge part of my hockey career. Not only did he teach me how to keep a puck out of the net, but he taught me accountability, passion, and resilience. Spronse taught me how to stand out of the crowd and he is a huge part of the success I’ve had so far throughout my hockey journey.”

“I have worked with Jason for the past 8 years and he has been an imperative factor in my development. Jason has extensive knowledge of the technical aspect of the position and is very personable to work with. Jason always makes himself available for me to reach out to when I need to talk about the mental side of being a goalie. I have worked with many goalie coaches over the years and Jason’s personability and wealth of goaltending knowledge are simply unmatched.”

“We have known Jason for many years now and have continued to use him to coach our son. Jason’s dedication to all aspects of goalie development and the individual athlete make him one of the premier goalie coaches in the area."

“Our son Josh has been training with Jason for the last 8 years.  Under Jason’s teaching he has progressed in minor hockey from MD level up to A, AA, and finally AAA hockey.  He has continued with Jason in Junior Hockey as well by participating in Jason’s Elite Prospect Program.  This has provided advanced hockey instruction as well as providing an understanding of how junior hockey works and continued support through all the new situations that occur at this level.       

Jason has always been available for post game phone conversations and has been able to provide invaluable game reports. Jason is always the first person Josh calls to discuss the game’s events.

We cannot thank Jason enough for all the teaching and support he has provided and continues to provide, and would recommend any young goalie that has a desire to learn and grow as a player, to consider working with Jason and Elite Canadian Goaltending.”
