"Jon has been a good friend for many years. I appreciated his help working with me while I was playing for the Calgary Flames. When my son decided to become a goaltender 4 years ago, I contacted Jon. In one week's time, my son turned into a solid, steady, confident goaltender who understands the meaning of dedication. Jon's choice of progressive drills combined with the intensity of his program proved to be a winning combination."

"As both a parent and a coach I was very pleased with not only the experience and knowledge that Jon was able to pass on to my son, but what I found most notable was Jon's ability to communicate with each individual and get the most out of each goaltender. I have known Jon for many years but to see him work first-hand with my son was very encouraging. My son went home each day more enthusiastic and passionate for the position then when he arrived. Great job Jon."

"Jon Elkin has worked with me as my goalie coach for the years that I have been the head coach at St. Mikes. Every year I see an improvement in the goalies who always performed at the top of the OHL. Jon is organized, detailed, competitive and makes the drills game-like. A big part of our success at St. Mikes has been great goaltending and Jon was definitely instrumental in that."

"This quality goalie school exceeded our expectations. On-ice instruction was upbeat, high energy and involved. Instructors clearly enjoyed helping goaltenders get better by developing and refining details of their game using relevant drills. My son finished the program with goaltending fundamentals in place. Outstanding."

"I've scouted many Junior A and Pro goalies over the years. The goalies at Jon's school are developing at a faster rate than most. His technical understanding of the position is head and shoulders above the rest. I love his passion for goaltending and the intensity and creativity of his workouts."

"For the last 7 summers I've attended Jon's camp which has improved my game tremendously. Jon has taught me a lot about the game not just on the ice but in attitude towards preparation and training. He has helped solidify my game getting me onto my national team & into Britain's top pro league. Without Jon's help I wouldn't be where I am today."

"I have participated with my son at many camps and clinics over the last few years, and Jon's camp is simply the best. The instruction and attention to detail is second to none. The instructors are all top notch, very professional and extremely knowledgeable. My son and I are both impressed with the improvements we have made since attending Jon's camp. Young or old, this is the place to come to if you want to improve your game."

"I completely enjoyed your camp last summer. You have assembled an excellent staff, and ran your program with taut efficiency. All of the instructors were patient and thorough, your shooters were relentless and accurate, and the facility was superb. Despite my relatively advanced age, I did not feel out of place, and you tailored all the drills to the ability level of the goaltender. Now that my blisters have healed and I am stonewalling my men's league, I want to come back with my two sons and daughter again next year!"

"Our son Max has been attending Jon's camp for seven years. It is Jon's hands-on approach to both the students and the staff that keeps us coming back each summer as well as to the winter and spring mini-camps. Jon and his staff have had a positive influence on Max's growth both as a goaltender and as a young man."

"Just want to let you know how much you and your school means to my son Morgan & I. He started going to your summer camp about six years ago. Morgan had a great time while receiving excellent instruction. There were some bonuses that I hadn't thought of. Morgan & I met people from throughout the world & look forward to seeing them at your camp each year, your goalie instructors all love goaltending & are doing something with their lives. Morgan's mother was a slow convert but now can't wait to take her holidays spending an additional week each summer with Morgan at your Iceland location. I know this doesn't just happen by its self, but takes a lot of work and dedication to quality. Thank You."
