Congrats on a great season. On behalf of all past goaltenders and true hockey fans, thank you for showing how the position should be played. For too many years, goaltenders have become blockers and not goaltenders and through your efforts, you have shown the hockey world the way the position should be played. Coaches all over the country are telling goalies to be blockers and not use their athleticism. Thank YOU for showing, through your goaltender that being athletic, instinctive and trusting your mind/body, you can be very successful. Every coach but you and Coach Petraglia at Miami has tried to change Evan into a blocker (which he has never done). You showing how the position should be played is not only appreciated and a breath of fresh air, but it is what the hockey world needed. So from an old goaltender and a diehard goaltending family, thank YOU, thank YOU, thank YOU...Great job!

Coach Korn, thank you to you and your staff for an incredible week of Goalie camp in Nashville!  Haydon Hurt was so excited every single day to come to camp!  Not one day was there a problem getting him up - he was so pumped - he would jump right up and be ready to go!  Haydon learned so many different techniques and skills that he will continue to develop as he grows into his Goalie role.  As a young goalie, Haydon has been determined for over a year now to practice and learn as much as he can to be a strong goalie.  The skills you taught Haydon this week will allow him a tremendous variety to practice each and every day!  Thank YOU for all YOU do to support youth hockey!!!!  You are truly an inspiration and fantastic role model.

I just wanted to thank you for the great week you and your staff provided for Geoff and Andrew at your camp in Buffalo.  They had a terrific time, worked hard and learned a lot.  I know you see a ton of goalies over the summer. Geoff was the one that won “hardest working” goalie and both boys won the “Ear of Korn” award which is prominently displayed.  When I was growing up in Buffalo I got a thrill when Ken Dryden (Montreal) faced his brother Dave (Buffalo) in net.  Very Cool.  Who knows, maybe Saltarelli vs.Saltarelli (two Jews!) will make additional history some day!!   Ah dreams.  Thanks again for all you do for the boys in both hockey and more importantly with life lessons.  

This is long overdue, but I just wanted to thank you for your work with Matthew and all the kids at your camp in Buffalo. It was a terrific experience and one that will benefit Matt both on and off the ice. He is back with his team and working hard, with new pads by the way.  He's in 33 plus one pro stock, ouch!  Anyway thanks again and I'll see you at training camp.

Thanks so much for providing Nick with a great experience this week.  He said it was one of the best things that he has ever gotten to do!  Thanks again.  Looking forward to next year,

Thanks again for a great goalie experience for Marcus.  You're great at what you do and we appreciate the effort, attention to detail and energy in making the week so power-packed with instruction.  You're the "goalie guru" in the hockey world!  We wish you al the best for your upcoming hockey season!

I wanted to send you this e-mail to tell you how much I appreciate you coming to Cincinnati to teach us how to become better goalies physically, mentally, and emotionally. I've had fun in the three years now that I've been in your camp and I look forward to renewing my brain every summer by updating the “50 ram Best Goalie in the World program”.  I think that the most important thing that I've learned is how to recognize where the puck is going right off the stick and focusing on the game and not the goal that the opposing team might have just scored.  Today you taught me more about the fundamentals of handling the puck than my goalie coach did all last year! Thank you so much for the opportunity to become the best goalie I can be and I can say without hesitation that I will do what it takes to become the Best Goalie in the World someday. Thank you so much,

Just a quick note to tell you how much your emphasis on school stuck with Alex.  He is relentless at his new school and has a 94.5 GPA.  The talk about academics meant a lot to him.  He doesn't want to be passed over because of his grades.  Thanks, and thanks for all you taught him.  He is seeing lots of shots and getting better every game.  The work you did with him on breakaways at your Buffalo camp has transformed his game.  He's a very confident goaltender.

I just wanted to tell you that attending your Cincinnati camp last summer was one of the biggest highlights in my daughter’s15 year old life.  She is in love with goal-tending and was amazed and awestruck by you.  If you are wondering what impact you had, her coach asked me at the beginning of the hockey season what happened to her over the summer.  She went from being a first year fresh goalie to what he considers to be the best goalie in their league this year.  When she goes on the ice for a game I remind her "May The Korn Be With You" … in other words remember everything Mr. Korn taught you.  As you may have guessed she absolutely wants to come back this summer.

Hey, this is Matt Sobecki.  I am 16 and I only started playing goalie 3 years ago.  I attended Korn Camp in St. Louis and the weekend clinic in Trenton.  I just wanted to really thank you guys for all I learned at the camps. I finally put it all to good use when my team's starting goalie got injured 5 min. into our game. My number was called and I went in against the team in 2nd place in our conference. We ended up losing 6-3. I finished with 25 nice saves and 5 goals allowed. We won our next 2 games this weekend, 4-1 and 7-2, and I finished with 17 and 20 saves respectively. Without what you guys had taught me I would not have been able to do so well. I really appreciate all the help I was able to get. THANKS and keep up the great work.

Our daughter, Shannon, attended your camp in Nashville and really enjoyed it.  So did my wife and I.  I liked how as the different kids with all the different skill levels rotated through the stations, everyone seemed to stop about 3/4 of the shots.  The thing I like most about you as a coach is that you teach people how to think and how to solve problems on their own.  To me, that's what coaching is all about.  The ones who learn march on, and the ones who don't sit down on the side of the road.  Sometimes the road is hockey, and sometimes it's something else.  But the lesson never goes to waste.  Thanks again.

Karl had a great learning experience this past week at your camp.  He most enjoyed the classroom  time since little emphasis is given this aspect for goalies in our community hockey program.  You and your staff wore him out every day but he was eager to start fresh the following days with a good night’s sleep.  Thank you and we will see you next year.

Mitch, I wanted to thank you for an excellent camp. My son Seamus was in your Minneapolis camp.  The camp seemed very instructive but also great fun. I was worried because he just came off a two week fitness camp for his league and had a lot of ice time there. I thought he might get burned out . But he came back more enthusiastic than ever from your camp.  Seamus has really become passionate about being a goalie after camp.   He seems to have really learned a lot .  I can see real improvement.

Thank you for an excellent camp this year. Andrew improved every day he was on the ice. More importantly, you inspired him this year. All I've heard is "Mitch says….Mitch says”.  Example, he let too many pucks in one night.  The next night, he told me Mitch says "good goalies don't have two bad days in a row". he didn't.   Thank you,

My son Brandon had a great time and learned a lot Mitch, thank you very, very much. You have a terrific NON- politically correct sense of humor as well!   All the best!

I just wanted to send a note saying how much my son Matthew enjoyed the DEFENSE CAMP in St. Louis.  It was well run and the drills were fun and educational at the same time.  I know he gained much more confidence in his playing ability.  The improvement that was seen by all the kids from the start of the camp to the end was a testament to yourself and Norm’s commitment to minor hockey.  The coaches and helpers were all great with the kids and the collective knowledge was astounding.   Thanks for a great week and we will definitely be back!

"My son LOVED you camp!!!!  He learned a bunch!!!!   Thank you and see you next year!!!!

Just want to let you know what a great camp you have.  Jake had agreat time learning.  He didn't want to leave.  He asked if he can attend the camp in Buffalo at the end of July …lol.   Thank you for a great experience.

I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed your camp in Duluth.  I learned a lot and realize I still have a long way to go!
Thank you for the award, I will wear the shirt with pride.  I plan on coming back next year.   Just a side note…I had to leave early because I was in a tournament.  You will be happy to know that our little upstart team of 12 skaters and myself, managed to win the Championship and lift the trophy!  We went 5-0 and I only allowed 5 goals in 5 games stopping 93.4% of my shots. I had two shutouts including the Championship game against the defending champs.  I was named top goalie for the tournament and defensive MVP.   I hope that qualifies me to be a true "Child of the Korn".  Your buddy,

Thank you again for taking Zakari into your Minnesota goalie camp at the age of 8. I have to say the confidence boost and the education he received at the camp was just incredible.  He is as pumped about hockey and being a goalie as he can be. He has NOT taken his Korn Camp award T shirt off yet.. we will have to force him to take it off so we can wash it !  My wife Jessica was very impressed with the way the camp was run and looks forward to next year.  The drills looked just great.  Thank you again.

I'm just sending over some photos of my 9 year old twins who were in your program in Edina.  I really was expecting them to be exhausted and not want to be part of the camp at the end due to the long days and their age, but when we asked them if they were happy about it being the last day of early mornings and a lot of work they both told us that they were going to miss the camp and that they wished it could last longer.  Needless to say - my husband and I were surprised to hear that come from our little 9 year olds, obviously keeping up with the older kids.  They said they would like to do the camp again next year and that was nice to hear.  They loved your camp.  We appreciate your skills and teachings with our children and as much as our twins thought their long days would be too long before they started - they really learned a lot and loved it.

My name is Gina Duran and my son, Quincy attended your camp several years ago.  He was also one of the boys you coached with the Toledo Cherokees.  I just wanted to thank you and let you know I do believe your program had a great impact on him.  I honestly meant to send you an email quite a few years ago.  I guess better late than never.  He earned the top award at your camp.  I do talk to others how it was an impressive experience for Quincy.  In the last year especially he has become quite driven and has earned a AAA goalie position.   I guess I just wanted to give credit where credit is due, so thank you again for the impact you made on Quincy.

Thanks for setting the foundation you provided for Shane's hockey career.  This season was exceptional as Shane steered his team to the Wisconsin State Tournament.  This year his team won the Badger North Conference (where he was selected as a unanimous 1st team all-conference goalie).  Shane was selected as his team's MVP for the second year in a row!  After spending four tours of duty with you in Duluth, I think that you really set the stage for his success.  Thanks again

It’s Nick Kamaris' dad here. Nick is going to college in September and will be playing club hockey.  We are thrilled that he is going to continue to play. Rest assured we are always advocating your great goalie camps. Nick attended Korn Camp for 7 years and as a result he had a very successful High School career here in New Jersey.  I just wanted to thank you for all of your help with his development over the years. Go Preds!
