Client Testimonials

Michele M. Goalie Parent

Ed has worked with our son for about five years. He is so much more than a fantastic coach. His guidance, knowledge, compassion, and love for the game make him one of my sons favorite coaches. He has motivated my son to be a hard worker, never give up, and shoot for the stars. Ed is excellent for long-term goalie coaching, great with tune ups, and wonderful at getting a goalie out of his head and into the game.

Shel M. Goalie Parent

Ed Johnson is hands down one of the most knowledgeable and intuitive goalie coaches out there. He takes his time and get to know your goalie on a personal level, all the while keeping short and long term growth and development at the forefront. I highly recommend Ed for beginner through seasoned goalies.

Chadde S.

Ed is very personable with the goalies he trains and your goalie will get a lot of reps with various techniques applied, I’ve seen it first hand last year with two AAA goalies. He has several age groups that will meet or exceed your goalies needs. Give him a shot, you will see progress.

Joshua C. Travel Hockey Coach

Coach Johnson has been my exclusive Goalie Coach for the 2011 Flint Jr. Firebirds for the past two seasons, and The FSCG Phoenix Hockey Club. He has without a doubt elevated my teams goaltending to much higher levels. His approach is two fold as he gets to know the athlete first by evaluating game and practice film and then dives right in to fix inconsistencies and further strengthen any foundation the goalie already has. Furthermore he’s followed my athletes during and after games to provide feedback as soon as possible while it’s fresh in the athletes mind. I’d recommend Johnson Goaltending to any athlete that is seriously looking to elevate their game and master their craft. I look forward to using Johnson Goaltending exclusively for seasons to come!

Lauren C. Goalie Parent

Seldom do you find a goalie coach who knows how to get through to each of his goalies no matter age, gender or what they bring to the table. We are so thankful for Ed. After a few years of trying other coaches that had various issues, we feel that we hit the jackpot with Ed. Our daughter has shown drastic improvement between clinics, semi-private and private lessons with Ed. We are always impressed with the caliber (athletic wise AND character wise) of teen goalie coaches that join him for clinics and camps. He picks outstanding goalies to help and love kids as much as he does. He spends detailed individual attention to his students. My daughter leaves working with Ed and / or his staff with giant smiles and asks when she is going to see them again. It’s hard to find a coach that not only is able to get the best out of your kid, but your kid wants to do their best because they want to give back what he gives to them.
Paul L. Goalie Parent
Coach has been great with our six-year-old and building his confidence and love for the position.
The goalie camp was very !
So cool to see the large range of age and ability. I felt like the coaches did a fantastic job of working with each age and each ability at their level, which is a teacher for a long time. I know it’s a very hard thing to do.
Bravo to all the coaches!
Anthony V. Goalie Parent

The personalized training tailored to each individual goalie. The positive work ethic Ed brings to the table really creates a positive and prosperous environment for the goalies to grow and develop under.

Jessica J. Goalie Parent

Hands down the best goalie coaching around!! Organized, knowledgeable, and effective!

Justin F. Goalie Parent

We first met Johnson at a free try goalie clinic that are house team offered, loved the way his team worked with the goalies and our son that was 5 at that time really enjoyed it!! Now we just did his first full clinic and for a young kid that loves being a goalie enjoyed every moment of the clinic. Thanks again team can't wait for a one on one and July 4 day camp!!!

Kelly F. Goalie Parent

I can't recommend Johnson goaltending enough!! My son just finished a goalie camp with him and the first thing he said when we got home was "I'm going to pretend I'm a goalie coach" that's the impact Ed and his team have on these kids! My son said he gives all of the goalie coaches that worked with him 1,000 stars. And I couldn't agree with him more. They are all so great and not only teach well, but have fun with them too. It makes it enjoyable for the goalies but even us as parents to watch. We are looking forward to all of the camps, clinics, and one on one's in the years to come with Johnson Goaltending!
