"I have been training with Jamie since I was 15 years old and have come so far since the first day I stepped on the ice with him. His drills are challanging, modern and most of all set up to meet my needs as an elite level goaltender. I would recommend that any young goaltender looking to improve should attend McGuire Goaltending's programs." - Michael Hutchinson, Barrie Colts, OHL Goaltender |
He has taken my game to the point where I am now the number one ranked sledge hockey goaltender in the World." - Paul Rosen, Team Canada 2006 Paralympic Gold Medalist, 2008 World Champion |

 “Jamie has a unique way of getting inside my head and forcing me to think like a goalie. So much of elite level hockey is mental and he has helped me a lot in this area. His training methods are up to date compliment the way goaltending has changed over the last 5 years. - Jeff Weber, Sarnia Sting, OHL |

 "A dedicated teacher with excellent communication skills, Jamie McGuire’s passion & enthusiasm will inspire all his students to achieve there potential and still have fun. His relentless work with my son Andrew’s disability allowed him to still compete at the rep level." - Len Mizzoni, |
 "Jamie’s goalie school is different from most others in that he creates an atmosphere thatis simply awesome for a young goaltender. His camps are competitive, intense, and most importantly, fun. Having worked at his camp this past summer I can't say I've ever seen as many goalies having fun at a goalie school as I have with Jamie’s. It is this type of environment that allows a goaltender to improve. Jamie’s drills are unique, very beneficial, competitive, and above all, fun.State of the art techniques, great shooters and accomplished instructors plus Jamie’s approach to goaltending makes this school head and shoulders above other goalie schools and it was a pleasure to work at his camp." - Sean Samuel, Goaltender, |
 "I have had many goalie coaches at different levels in my carreer...Prep School, NCAA, International + Professional. Jamie has been by far the biggest positive influence on my game. He has a unique way of breaking down my weaknesses and helping me perfect them. His training methods are unique and the drills we use are customized to my needs as an elite level goaltender. I have also worked at his camps and clinics over the past year and would have to say that he runs the best goalie training school that I have been a part of. I would recomend to any young goalie at any age or level who wants to improve their skills to work with Jamie" - Erika Silva, Goaltender, 2002 USA National Team |

 “My son Alexander who is now 13, has been playing goal since he was six he has been to a few different goalie schools over the years. Last year I spoke with Jamie McGuire, not only did he do a great evaluation of Alexander's needs but he was able to put it terms that Alex could understand. Jamie does a great job working with Alex on the ice and off the ice. I see Alex working on the different things he learned in practice as well as in games. Alex and myself are very committed to Jamie." - Rick Barker, Father of Goaltender Alexander Barker, 1991 |
 "I have worked with Jamie for the past year and he has elevated my game to a whole new level. His high intensity and the high skill of the players have brought my game up from an underdog, who didn't get drafted, to the No. 1 goalie on the Cougars as an underager. I recommend his program to every young goalie, who is serious about goaltending and wants to get to the next level." - Greg Johnson, 1987 Goaltender, North York Rangers, Jr. A |
 "I have been fortunate enough to work with Jamie over the past two summers and I believe that I have benefited not only from his knowledge about goaltending butalso from his presence on the ice. Jamie truly understands what it is like to be a goaltender both physically as well as emotionally.Being around Jamie makes me want to push myself to be great, no matter what the drill. Being motivated to improve your game is a key element in becoming a great goaltender and Jamie brings that to the table everyday." - Justin Eddy, Goaltender, Quinnipiac University, NCAA Division 1 (Property of the Washington Capitals, NHL) |
 "Blessed with 2 goaltenders in our family, Andrew, Midget AAA GTHL, and Megan, Bantam AA NMGHL, you might say that over the last 10 years we have become very familiar with the goaltending world in the GTA. Finding a team for a goaltender is one thing, but finding an excellent goalie coach is quite another. It is like finding a needle in a haystack, many profess to be good, but few can follow through. Jamie has not only been able to teach and compliment our 2 goalies style, but almost more importantly, Jamie brings an innate ability to relate to each of them personally, and as a result has been able to take each of them to the highest level of play for their age group." - Char + Pat Amlinger, Parents of Megan + Andrew |
"I met Jamie a week or so prior to receiving my invitation to US National camp. I had planned to start doing some individual sessions with him to improve my weaknesses. Once the invitation came however, we jumped right into a heavy training regiment. I have been on the ice 3 times per week for the last month or so and have learned and improved more in that time than I had at any point in my career up to this point. He’s helped me a lot with the technical aspect of my game. He is a perfect blend of tough and critical as well as considerate and humorous. He has a way of teaching the game that makes it fun to be out on the ice everyday. I have worked with many goalie coaches over my career but I would say that he has already had the biggest impact of them all"

 "Jamie began working with Ben 3 years ago when Ben first started playing. Ben's skill and love of Hockey is the result of Jamie's excellent rapport with kids that makes learning the game of hockey fun." - Fausto Rossetto, Father of Goaltender Ben Rossetto, NobleKing Knights |
"I’ve been fortunate to work with Jamie the past two summers. Regardless how i felt on the ice, Jamie was able to bring out my best and elevate my game. Jamie always has an open ear and great dialogue with his goalies allowing them to feel comfortable and elevate their games." - Peter Aubry, |
"Jamie has helped Terry begin to redevelop into the player he was 18 months ago. After a year of serious health issues, Terry is progressing well towards his goal of playing high level hockey again. I personally attribute this to Jamie's ability to make hard work fun, where the students can immediately see the results. His positive attitude, and ability to encourage Terry's best efforts are truly something I did not think we would find in a goaltending instructor. Terry can not wait until his lesson every week and has said that he will go to no one else again. He enjoys Jamie and his staff immensely. It will only make him stronger both mentally and physically. I am proud to have Jamie work with my son." - Damian O'Gorman, Father of Goaltender Terry |
"Great job with the March Break Camp. Chantal had a great time and enjoyed being pushed to her limit. The instructors, shooters and other goalies were great motivation and inspiration to her. I was impressed with how well organized it was from start to finish. Your camps have really helped boost her confidence. Thanks again." - Ed Bicket, |

"Jamie has helped me in ways that I can not really explain. As a disabled athlete it is hard to find a coach or instructor that will treat + train me like any other able bodied athlete. Over the past 5 years Jamie has exceeded all my expectations and pushes me as hard, if not harder than any of his other goaltenders.
"I have been running camps with Jamie for the past 5 years. He has built a reputation in Rhode Island as being a goalie trainer who produces fast results. Each year our attendence grows and the demand for his service increases as a result of his attention to detail and passion towards teaching."
"Rob was encouraging and very helpful with developing the skills necessary for goalies at this level of hockey. We look forward to continuing our relationship with both Rob and McGuire Goaltending"
"Our son Taylor (1991) has played goal for three years, moving up a level each year. Moving into "AA" this year was a formidable challange but one that Jamie made accomplishable with his mentoring and instruction. It is a pleasure to bring Taylor to MGHD, not just for the training but the interaction and camaraderie that is shared by goalies from house league to NCAA without exception. Physical development aside, Jamie's influence and that of his staff has had an extremely positive outcome with regard to the game and reflected in other facets of Taylor's life."

"Joseph thinks your school is great and his movement has increased dramatically over the past month. Keep up the good work!"
"Hi Jamie, thanks very much for asking. The practice was great. The boys really liked the instructor that came out and the coaching staff was very pleased. We'll gladly continue to have him out every other week......Many thanks"
"Jamie, thank you for all the training + support that you have provided to my son Demetri, who currently plays for the Markham Islanders Atom AA team. As a 10 year old athlete, he has begun to learn all of the technical aspects associated with being a goalie, while at the same time having lots of fun. By way of Justin's (MGHD Instructor) definitive and personalized training methods, Demetri has also shown progress and maturity in areas such as discipline, work ethic, leadership and confidence, which are all necessary ingredients for the growth and development of any young athlete both on and off the ice."
