The 2012 Minnesota Hockey Dave Peterson Reebok High Performance Goalie Camp is scheduled for July 26-29 at the Schwan Super Rink/National Sports Center complex in Blaine, Minn. The registration fee will be $475 per goalie.

Goalies who make their district/section teams in the 2012 Minnesota Hockey Reebok High Performance 15-16-17 boys and girls programs will be invited to participate in the camp. Invites are mailed in early May. The camp is limited to 50 goalies (25 boys and 25 girls). Space is filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

The goalie camp includes nine hours of on-ice training and more than nine hours of off-ice training and instruction.
 
The instructors will feature a variety of Minnesota's top college and high school goalie coaches. Current Minnesota college goalies will serve as on-ice demonstrators and off-ice counselors. Players from various Minnesota college and high school programs will help as on-ice shooters throughout the camp.

For more information, contact Steve Carroll, camp director and USA Hockey's Minnesota District Goalie Coach-in-Chief at scarroll@minnesotahockey.org or 612-869-2719.
