Founder and Director of Goaltender & Player Development: Aaron Dickstein

Originally from Dayton, OH, Aaron grew up playing AAA hockey hockey in the Tier One Elite League for the Ohio AAA Bluejackets and Milwaukee Jr. Admirals. After graduating high school, Aaron spent two years in the junior ranks, playing for the Milwaukee Power and the Louisiana Drillers of the NA3HL, as well as for the New Mexico Ice Wolves of the NAHL. During his time in Milwaukee, Aaron served as the Director of Goaltending Development for Milwaukee Winter Club, attending practices, running clinics, and providing private 1 on 1 instruction. Currently, Aaron is in his 3rd year attending Concordia College, playing for the NCAA D3 Men’s Ice Hockey team. In the summer, Aaron spends time working goalie camps for current Director of Goaltending Development for the New York Islanders Mitch Korn, and Jeff Lerg at Future Pro Goalie School in Detroit, MI.

Aaron’s unique approach focuses on building a personal relationship with his goalies first, and then focusing on their development second. This creates a strong level of trust between player and coach, and with that a willingness to buy into process.
