Jon Elkin is in his third season as the Petes goalie coach. He started his own goalie school at 16 years of age as a part-time venture in Montreal where he grew up. He moved to Toronto 16 years ago to operate the school full-time. Since then the school has grown into the largest goalie school in the world. It operates year-round seven days per week including ten straight weeks in the summer where students congregate from all over the world.

Jon was the Calgary Flames (NHL) goalie coach for three seasons and has been the goalie consultant for teams in the AHL, WHL, QMJHL and OHL. Elkin has coached 15 NHL goalies in total. More significantly, he has helped develop five goalies since a young age that have gone on to play in the NHL. The school has many more young goalies that are legitimate NHL prospects, including 23 who have been drafted recently. The 2008 NHL draft should continue to act as confirmation that Jon Elkin’s pupils are participating in a top developmental program.
