“My daughter loves receiving coaching from the Goalie Engineering coaches. She finds the instruction helpful and always comes out with a smile. She honestly can’t seem to get enough. I can see a significant improvement in her game following her attendance of practices and camp.”

“I strongly recommend Samson Tan and Goalie Engineering for any goalies or hockey teams looking for reliable, professional and highly skilled goalie coaching. We were lucky to be connected to Samson early and have been using him for years with several of our select teams.
He has coached and mentored several of our goalies, and the results are clear, with a substantial increase in their development and the acquisition of many new and critical skills. From experienced goalies to those new to the goalie position, Samson has the patience, expertise and empathy to build relationships with the goalies and help them acquire more confidence and accelerate their development.
I view him as not just an "external coach" but as a true partner in the development of our hockey team. You will not be disappointed!”
-Steve Smith
“We are extremely happy to be working with Samson, his impact on my son’s performance in net has been phenomenal! We have worked with a few other trainers but Samson sets himself apart by getting down on the ice and actively demonstrating every drill so that my son can see the mechanics at work. Samson also takes videos of my son doing the drills and immediately reviews them with my goalie on the ice to point out things to do differently.
We’ve found his approach of active demonstration and immediate, evidence-based feedback to be much more effective than the way most trainers work. In addition, Samson finds a way to make hard workouts fun by mixing in mini-games like knocking down cones with pad deflections. In the time that we’ve been working with Samson, my son has transitioned from a beginner to the main goalie on his team.
Samson is a pleasure to work with and my son really looks forward to his training sessions with him because he knows the impact it has on his game. I can’t recommend Samson highly enough!”
-David Tien
“Samson has coached my goalies for years. The kids really enjoy his style of instruction and in fact Samson helped our team go from a non-play-off spot to second place in two seasons with improved goalie coaching.”
