2021-22 Goaltender Development Program

Hockey Winnipeg is pleased to announce that we will once again be partnering with the Bell MTS Iceplex Ice Lab this year to offer our 2021/22 Goaltender Development Program. The program, led by Andy Kollar, is only available to registered male and female A1, A2, and A3 U11-U15 Winnipeg goaltenders for the subsidized fee of $65.00. Goaltenders in the program will receive three one-on-one sessions at the Ice Lab inside the Bell MTS Iceplex. One-on-one sessions will be available to schedule between November 2021 and March 2022.

Registration will be available until Thursday, November 4 at 4:00pm. Due to capacity limits, only a select number of goalies who register will be allowed to participate in the program. By registering online, you will be entered into our “Potential Pool of Participants” where an electronically randomized draw will select a certain number of goalies who will then be eligible to officially participate in the program.

The payment process will take place after the randomized draw occurs.

Please complete the registration process in order to potentially participate in this excellent goaltender development program.

Winnipeg Linesman to Make NHL Debut

Hockey Winnipeg wishes best of luck to Linesperson Justin (“JJ”) Johnson on his National Hockey League regular season officiating debut tonight, working the Winnipeg Jets game against the Nashville Predators. Johnson, 23, who has been officiating for 10 years, started in the Seven Oaks Minor Hockey Association, later serving as Referee in Chief.

 

Johnson was signed by the NHL to work a split contract, with up to 40 games at the NHL level, and 40 AHL assignments this season.

 

“Justin has used his unique physical traits, skating ability and taken full advantage of every opportunity he’s been given along the way to get to this point.” said Hockey Winnipeg VP Officials Mark Alward. “Hockey Winnipeg and all of JJ’s colleagues across Manitoba are eagerly waiting for the chance to cheer him on wearing the NHL crest. I’ve had the pleasure of working with JJ the last number of years and can attest to his development not only on the ice, but off it.”

 

Johnson is the first Manitoban hired to the NHL as an official since Ryan Galloway in 2002. Read more
