Pro Ambitions, North America’s leading hockey camps, has committed to providing the best goaltending training available. We went after the nation’s top young goalie coach - and got him!

Since Goalie Coach Mike Buckley has joined the Pro Ambitions team, our goalie training program has undergone innovative, new changes, selling out week after week, as a result.  Under Mike Buckley’s curriculum, students are exposed to today’s most modern technique. As a former Division 1. and recently retired professional goaltender, Coach Buckley’s teachings has helped produced several NHL draft picks, five Division 1. scholarships, two major junior draft picks, and two U-17 National Development Team selections.

In addition to his role as Director of Goaltending for Pro Ambitions, Mike is also the UMass-Amherst Goaltending Coach (Hockey East).

Due the overwhelming popularity of Coach Buckley’s goaltending curriculum, Pro Ambitions is fully integrating Mike’s curriculum for the upcoming season.

Mike’s coaching curriculum is focused on being well-structured, progressive, challenging and fun. Skating, stance, positioning, save selection, rebound control and recovery are developed using today's modern methods. In addition, game situations, stick handling and the mental game are focused on each day to produce strong, consistent-minded goaltenders.

Mike Buckley has developed an intuitive and very successful training curriculum that until now has only been available though his highly sought after private instruction. E-mail Mike with any camp or clinic questions at mbuckley@athletic-evolution.com.
