Train with Pro Goalie Matt Davis: Private 1:1 Sessions at Magness Arena, Denver

Private 1:1 Goalie Sessions (Magness Arena) puts Denver’s ice under a microscope: one hour of focused, individualized training with Elite Edge coach and current AHL goalie Matt Davis at the University of Denver. Located at 2240 Buchtel Blvd S, Denver, CO 80210, USA, the session uses private stick-and-puck ice during protected hours in the Joy Burns Arena complex, giving developing goalies a professional environment to sharpen technique, timing, and mental approach. On arrival you’ll find a compact rink setup with a protected training zone where drills are staged close to the net so repetition and feedback happen in real time. The core features here are the glass-backed goal, DAS-style rebound control, and clean ice ideal for precise movement work. Sessions pair physical skill training—positioning, crease movement, lateral pushes, paddle saves—with cognitive drills that simulate game pressure. A post-session review translates on-ice success into an actionable plan: what to practice, progress targets, and notes for coaches and parents. This program stands out because the coach is an active AHL professional and an NCAA national champion, bringing elite-level expectations to a one-on-one format. For young athletes ages 8–20 this is not a cookie-cutter class; it’s a tailored curriculum based on individual strengths and gaps. One-on-one ice time means faster skill transfer: more repetitions, more corrections, and fewer distractions than group lessons. The private University of Denver venue also makes it easy for families commuting within the Denver metro to drop in and drop off without the crowding of public sessions. Practicalities are straightforward. Sessions run one hour and cost $150, covering goalie/coach ice time and facility fees. Arrive 30 minutes early to check in at the Joy Burns Arena main lobby front desk, request a locker, and display the Lot 401 parking pass for quicker gate access. Sessions require no special equipment beyond a fully fitted goalie kit; bring skates, pads, and a stick. The schedule depends on University stick-and-puck availability, so book ahead; cancellations receive a full refund if made at least three days in advance. Why book this? If you’re chasing measurable improvement, this session condenses elite coaching into a focused hour where adjustments stick. For travel plans, Denver’s facilities and coach pedigree make this a compact, high-value stop on youth hockey development itineraries. It’s ideal for goalies who want expert feedback, goal-oriented drills, and a clear next-step plan after the whistle. Parents and coaches appreciate the post-practice review, which includes specific homework drills and video or verbal notes to guide off-ice training and follow-up sessions. Because sessions are private, they also work well for focused prep ahead of tryouts, showcases, or seasonal camps. Space is limited; reserve early to secure a time that aligns with school and travel plans.
