BURLINGTON, Vt. -- A ice hockey goalie clinic sponsored by both University of Vermont hockey teams and the Vermont Goaltenders Academy raised over $2,000 for Burlington Meals on Wheels. The free clinic, held during the holiday break, was attended by over 70 goalies with donations benefiting the Burlington non-profit agency.

All six Catamounts men's and women's hockey goalies served as the clinic's instructors and many players from both teams served as shooters. The clinic was led by Vermont men's hockey assistant coach Terry Lovelette, the director of the Vermont Goaltenders Academy, and featured former Cats and professional standout Christian Soucy '95 as well as other members of the VGA staff. The ages of the goalies at the clinic ranged from six to 50 years old with the majority from local boy's and girl's amateur hockey teams.

Peter Carmolli '87, executive director of Burlington Meals on Wheels, also was on hand at the event held at UVM's Gutterson Fieldhouse. Since 1972, Burlington Meals on Wheels has delivered over two million meals to the elderly and those with disabilities.

Free VGA Clinic To Benefit Meals on Wheels

The Vermont Goaltenders Academy has worked hard to gain the respect and support of the Vermont hockey community over the last 14 years.  During that time we've trained in excess of 500 goaltenders and built relationships with youth organizations throughout Vermont, upstate New York, and, most recently, New Hampshire.  In light of this, we'd say "thank you" and to give back to our community. 

With  support from University of Vermont, Kevin Smith Sports, and the Vermont State Amateur Hockey Association,  the Vermont Goaltenders Academy, will conduct a hockey goaltenders clinic for boys and girls ages 6-adult.  This event will be held December 29th, from 11:30 am - 1:30 pm,  at UVM’s Gutterson Fieldhouse (pre-register) .  There is no for admission; however, VGA is asking for a monetary donation to Meals On Wheels from participants.  Instructors and shooters will include players from the UVM men’s and women’s teams. 

All participants must pre-register (it'll only take a minute)!
