Training Structure
While all of our sessions include a heavy focus on building fundamental skills, what sets SNH apart from the competition is our position-specific skill development approach. We believe that time you spend on the ice is valuable, and that every second of it should be spent on helping you build skills that will translate directly to your individual game.

Our Clients
Hear from players, parents, and coaches on their experience with SNG Performance
“Aaron has always had a great work ethic and he has been very committed and driven to succeed. He has a passion for the game second to none. He has a deep knowledge of the goalie position and he is very detailed in his approach, not to mention his ability to adapt and to be progressive with the position and the game itself. Aaron has always been good working with goalies, including my son, who is a younger goalie himself, as he has a good disposition and delivery about him. I have confidence in Aaron and his ability to mentor young aspiring goalies of any age and level.“
“Over the last 3 years, I have improved immensely as a goaltender, and Aaron has a lot to do with it. If you work with Aaron, you get unmatched attention to detail in your sessions, and he will push you to make the right choices so that you get the most out of your training. Aaron offers more than anyone could ask for in a coach, including training both on and off the ice, as well as video analysis and nutrition guidance.”
“I only started working with Aaron in August, and we already have a super strong connection. Aaron is great to work with. This season, I am participating in his mentorship program, and everytime we step on the ice, his focus on the technical side of my game leaves me feeling well accomplished and confident in my game. What's unique about training with aaron is his use of video to catch each rep on film during lessons, something that not many other goalie coaches that I have worked with in the past have done. We often look at this video in real time, and this allows me to make adjustments to my game more effectively”
“I have worked with Aaron since I was a Bantam and I think he is a big reason why I have had some of the opportunities that I have today. He not only gives you thorough explanations of every technical skill you need on the ice, but has also always been there for me whenever I have a question, whether it be about nutrition, tryouts, or life in general. I think the emphasis he places in being a great skater and an exceptional puckhandler is what is going to allow him to continue to develop goalies and send them to higher and higher levels of hockey. Amazing coach and an even better person.”
“I have worked with Aaron and SNG Performance since the spring of 2023. In that time, I have seen growth in all aspects of my game. I am a stronger and more explosive skater, and I can handle the puck with confidence, allowing me to stretch plays and helpmy D transition up the ice. Not only has he made an impact on the ice, he has also helped me throughout the recruiting process, putting together film, reaching out to coaches, and preparing me for calls.”
“I have worked with Aaron for the past 3 years, since my 2nd year of Bantams. Something that makes working with Aaron better than other coaches in my opinion is that he not only helps you with the physical aspect of your game, but he also goes above and beyond for you off the ice as well. He will sit down with you and talk to you about your game at any time, and do anything he can to help you succeed. Aaron has helped me become a more confident goaltender in all aspects of my game, and I believe his is an amazing resource to have as a goaltender."
“Ever since I started training with Aaron my game has flourished. I feel more confident in practices and games, and the impact he has made on my game is clear. The live read and react scenarios we do each day are challenging and difficult, but they push me to be a better goaltender. I can really see and feel the translation from the drills we do in practice into game situations. Training with Aaron has made me a more confident and comfortable goalie.“
“My experience with Aaron has been amazing. I started working with SNG Performance 3 years ago, and my game has improved at a rapid pace. What makes working with Aaron unique is the time and detail that he will put into helping you grow your game. I enjoy the relationship I have built with him, and I look forward to every skate. The time that he has invested in me both on and off the ice has been a game changer, and I look forward to working with him in the future!”
“I’ve worked with Aaron for about 3 years, and he has been a great coach and mentor to me. He views the game in a different way than many of the other people I’ve worked with, and he isn’t afraid to say what I need to hear. He makes sure I know when I need to fix or work on things, and I have seen a lot of improvement in all areas of my game since working with him. He makes sure I understand what he is saying and I always answering any questions I may have. I’m very thankful to have him as a coach because I know that he is more than just a coach; he is also a mentor and a friend, and that is what really separates him from the average coach.”
“I have 2 goalies 4 years apart and Coach Aaron has worked with both of them over many years. They are both completely different children and he adapts to them as individuals. He has instilled technique, work ethic, and individuality in both of them. He is a smart coach that is able to take advantage of their strengths and work on their weaknesses without harsh judgment. This was especially important for one of our goalies suffering from a lack of confidence. They leave every session after working hard saying they had fun!”
“Working with Aaron has been an amazing experience for Kole. From his innovative approach to coaching to his willingness to listen and offer support and advice to his athletes, Aaron teaches them core techniques while helping them to progress and grow. Aaron takes the time to get to know his students, addressing their individual needs while supporting the student and family on and off the ice. Kole’s passion for hockey has grown since working with Aaron, and now his is focused on being a top goalie, leader, and doing his best every time he steps on the ice!”
