At Durante Goaltending, we are dedicated to developing elite goaltenders across Northumberland and Eastern Ontario. Founded by two brothers Stefano & Luca Durante, with over 20 years of experience playing at the highest levels—including AAA, the OJHL, NCAA, and professional hockey—our school was built on a deep passion for the position and a commitment to helping goalies reach their full potential.

We understand the demands of the game and the critical skills needed to succeed in the crease. Our training goes beyond just technique—we emphasize discipline, mental toughness, and game awareness to develop well-rounded, confident goalies. Through expert coaching, personalized development plans, and a strategic approach to the position, we prepare goalies to excel at any level. At Durante Goaltending, our mission is to build strong, skilled, and resilient athletes ready to take their game to the next level.

Our slogan at Durante Goaltending is "Stick 2 the Process" but this is more than just a slogan—it’s a mindset that defines everything we do. It represents the commitment to continuous improvement, resilience, and trust in the journey of development. For goalies, progress doesn’t happen overnight. Success is built through repetition, discipline, and unwavering dedication to the small details that lead to big results. "Stick 2 the Process" reminds our athletes to stay patient, embrace challenges, and focus on daily growth—whether on the ice, in the gym, or in life. By trusting the process, staying committed to hard work, and pushing through obstacles, goalies can develop the skills, confidence, and mindset needed to achieve their highest potential. At Durante Goaltending, we don’t just train goalies—we build athletes who are ready to succeed at every level.
