I’ve been working with Bandits since 2009 and my game has improved because of the staffs attention to detail in every aspect of the camps. They focuses on game situation drills that are suited for my overall style. It’s these little things that can be easily overlooked by most coaches but not Bandits. Improving all aspects of my game is my priority to play at my best day in and day out. Bandits helps me accomplish this with three simple letters, H.A.P. (Have A Purpose).

Bandits has done more for my game on the ice than anyone else could possibly do. Bandits has taught me to simplify my game, and not only have they helped me improve my skills as a goalie, they have taught me many lessons in life off the ice that you would never find in any other goalie school. Having A Purpose in everything you do as a person can only brighten your life and make you successful. Bandits Strong!!!

Bandits Goalie School has taught me many integral attributes of what it takes to be a highly competitive athlete. I’ve been with Bandits since 1999 and its helped me immensely in shaping my game and giving me a foundation to help my work ethic grow. It’s not just about technique with Bandits but a lifestyle that helps myself progress as a person and athlete on and off the ice each day.

Stan was crucial in my development throughout my four years as an Ontario Hockey League goaltender with the Plymouth Whalers. I continue to keep in contact with Stan and still attend his Bandits Goalie School summer camps in the off-season. He taught me the key components to goaltending while focusing on the little things. Stan works tirelessly at nailing down the fundamentals. He explains techniques such as total ice awareness and the importance of the mental aspects of being a goalie. I know that I would not have been drafted by the New Jersey Devils if I had not learned how to become a professional both on and off the ice with the dedicated coaching provided by Stan Matwijiw.

I met Stan and his staff when I was 12 years old at my first Bandits Goalie School summer camp. I’ve trained with them almost every summer since then. Bandits pushes you to be your best mentally and physically when you’re with them. Their instructors attention to detail is second to none and they will always remind you to have a purpose in everything you do. Stan and his staff have played a big role in helping me get to where I am at today

Bandits is by far the best goalie camp that I’ve ever been apart of. The training on and off the ice is top notch. Everyday the coaches push you to make you better while having fun and competitive environment. I would recommend Bandits to any goaltender looking to raise their game to the next level.

Bandits is the main reason why I’ve been able to play at the level that I’m at today. The demand for hard-work, along with the dedication that each of the instructors brings makes them the best goalie school I’ve ever been to, period. Without the skills and knowledge that Stan and his staff have taught me, I would not be playing in the OHL today.
