Zach Stejskal heads to Michigan this weekend
Seven Minnesota Goalies were chosen to attend the eighth annual Warren Strelow National Team Goaltending Camp, which features many of the top U.S. goaltenders eligible for international play within select age groups. The camp is held in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The camp is named after the late Warren Strelow, a former National Hockey League goalie coach who served in that same capacity for the 1980 U.S. Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team.
The elite four-day camp will cover both physical and mental aspects of goaltending, helping each player master the fundamentals of the position while developing a personal identity that translates to in-game success. The camp will be led by Kevin Reiter, Warren Strelow mentor and U.S. National Team goaltending coach, and regional mentors Adam Berkhoel, Brennan Poderzay and Jared Waimon.
There are 36 Goalies attending the camp birth years 1996 to 1999 from 16 states. Minnesota's seven Goalies was the most of any state. Each of the seven chosen has a long resume of success at the local level and some including Jake Oettinger who has had success at the national and international level.
