event that included a tradeshow and access to goaltend-
ing programming and on-ice demonstrations.
Ben Goyer, pro sales representative with CCM, was
thankful to be able to connect with people from around
the world passionate about goaltending.
"This event has been amazing," said Goyer. "We've had
the opportunity to meet goalies from every age, from
10U to the collegiate and pro levels, and from all around
the world, including Japan and South Korea. Working
with USA Hockey has been amazing and seeing all these
people here excited about the
sport has been a pleasure."
Katie Burt, an interim associ-
ate head coach for Providence
College's women's hockey team
and two-time goaltender for
the U.S. Under-18 Women's
National Team, gave the final
on-ice presentation on goal-line
reads and behind-the-net sce-
narios alongside Philips.
"As a coach, there have been
so many presentations that
have opened my mind to the
depths of goaltending," Burt
said. "Giving a presentation
was something I had never
done before, and I was blown
away by the support. I had the chance to present something
that I'm passionate about and being able to give my per-
spective and answer questions was great."
Frankel, fresh off a historic season in both international and
professional hockey, was eager to share her knowledge of the
game alongside the legendary Craig.
"The coaches that helped me reach this point are the ones
that believed in me," Frankel said. "They didn't want to change
who I was. They wanted to take the tools and skills I already
had and wanted to pour into that. That was so important for
me as an athlete and gave me confidence in net."
