I just wanted to send a quick note of thanks for a wonderful goalie camp you led in St. Louis.  Marcus had a great time and learned so much.  You are one of the rare and lucky people who love what they are doing and it shows.  You put so much into those camps, it's remarkable.  Your attention to detail is something that I don't see often.  I wish all the best of success to you and all the goalies whose lives you touch. Thank you

Just a quick note to again thank you for the opportunity to attend your Buffalo camp.  Garrett is off to a great start and attributes his recent success to what he learned at your camp.  He says he is much better at picking the puck up especially through screens.  His GAA is 0.88 with a 94% saves in 3 games including a 34 shot game against the Jr. Kings which ended in a 2-2 tie.  The season is early though but he definitely has more confidence.  I can see the difference.  Thank you and we will see you again in Buffalo!

Joe Jr. and I really enjoyed the camp.  He has been half goalie half player for the past few years, but after last weekend he now seems focused on being in net full time.  As a player, coach and student of the game I have attended many camps over the years and found your camp to be extremely informative and very enjoyable.   I am sure you have some of the best references in the world, but if you ever need a quote or reference from a local no name J let me know and I will be glad to assist.

I just wanted to send you a quick note to say Thanks on behalf of Peyton and myself for one of the most excellent goalie experiences we have ever had.  Your expertise in the subject of goaltending is absolutely phenomenal, and from speaking with Peyton you have left a lifelong impression (not to mention the leg and hip pain from the intensive workout).  I can already see at least a 50% improvement in her skills.  Peyton is determined to improve on what she has learned from you and she already asked me to make a screen board for out backyard rink this winter so I can help her train. You have given me renewed hope in the hockey camp world.  I'm sure you will see Peyton again this summer.

Thank you for an amazing camp. It was an unbelievable learning experience for goalies and parents alike. The way that you maximize the learning experience is most impressive. I cannot say enough great things. Both Nick and Joey are already begging to come back for more. Your greatest attribute is your willingness to give back to the game. Your passion for the game and love for the kids is like nothing I have ever seen before by any teacher in any environment. A million thanks and I can promise you that we will see you again next year.

Thank you very much for having Stephen Dhillon at your goalie camp at Hockey Outlet last week. He had a very enjoyable week. You and your entire staff were very skillful, dedicated and enthusiastic teachers. The goalies were exposed to and learned an enormous amount of very advanced goalie skills, all in a very positive environment. Stephen is very excited and already looking forward to next year. Thanks and have a great summer.

Thank you again for such a wonderful week in Cincinnati at Goalie Camp! Mason just LOVED it and can't wait for next year already! You and your counselors, shooters, etc. are great with the kids and so fun to watch. Please look us up when you are in town and a big dinner and cocktails on us - Wishing you a great year, we will be watching!

Just wanted to say thank you for the most wonderful goalie and life experience that my son Jared has had in a hockey camp.  Jared eats, sleeps, and poops goalie.  We are really proud of him and how hard he worked at the camp.  Everyone at your camp including, staff, counselors, shooters, yourself were wonderful.  I really appreciate the hard work and heart and soul that goes in to your camp, it really shows.   What you said at the award time was really true, our kids need to appreciate the things that they get, and they need to know that that there are many times in life that they will have to fight off adversity and not all will be handed to them on a silver platter.

I am Nicole Vizzone's father. She attended your goalie camp in Ashburn, VA last weekend.  She came out sore and tired but she learned so many things about her chosen position, the lessons were invaluable.  She has already started to put her new found skills to the test in a summer ice league, which is a big step for her since she started in roller hockey.  You and your coaches were very professional and kind to her, and she had a wonderful time.  We look forward to future camps and to watching our "girl" goalie blossom.  And thanks for the advice on her skates, she's doing much better with her new edges.  Again, thank you and your staff for a great goalie camp.  We'll see you at another one, soon.

My son William had had two terrific open tryout camps with junior teams, and has been invited back to the final camps for both teams. One of his evaluators complimented him on his lateral movement and how he was able to move side to side without opening up a lot of holes. When William told me about that, he added that "Just before tryouts I was thinking about something Coach Korn used to tell us about how you should think of your legs being attached by a bungee cord, so that when you moved a leg one way, your other leg had to quickly follow along and keep everything together." I told him that I thought it was impressive that he retained specific things you told him, and he said "Whenever I'm struggling with something, I can usually think of some drill or something I learned there that helps straighten me out." I thought you'd like to know that the hard work you put in, and the things you say and teach DO have an effect and make a difference for these kids.

First of all, I would like to express my heart felt thanks for giving my son, Connor, one of the best experiences that he has ever had in his 9 year old life at your camp. We were totally impressed with how you educated those kids both physically and mentally in such a fun manner. Connor wished the week had never ended. Your assistants were excellent. The efficiency with which you used the time was outstanding. Your passion was on display at all times.

I wanted to express just how much I appreciate you and all you do for kids. My son Ryan attended your goalie camp in Nashville. When I asked my son what he got most out of the camp his response was "fun". He stated that you had spoken to them about your hope that each one would get “one day better”. He improved his game 5 days better. The time you took with the youngsters was the best that I have ever seen. Joking with them yet pushing them to next level of is something I have not seen in my years of going to camps. I was a baseball player growing up and attended various camps, none of which grew me in the game as what I have seen in my son after attending your camp. Your staff is also to be commended on what they were able to accomplish in such a short time. Also, when I called and left a message to let someone on your staff know that I was sending out the final payment for the camp, I never expected to get a call back from one of the top goalie coaches in the NHL! Not only did you call me back yourself, you called me back just after landing at the Nashville Airport returning from the NHL playoffs. You help the young men to really see their potential and grow their love for the game. Thanks for helping my son.

Mitch, thanks again for inviting Vince up to your Prospects camp. What an incredible experience. By far the best camp he has ever attended. The level of coaching, shooters, and goalie talent was highly impressive. If can only attend one camp in future years it would be your Prospects camp. He certainly is well prepared for Prep School this fall.

Mitch, you and your crew has lifted CJ to another level. I can see it in his walk and his talk. He is more confident than I have ever seen him. He has reached another step into manhood. I have been reading your manual that you shared with CJ. After he read it, he left it for me to learn. Not only as a dad, but as a coach, I was very glad to know that he was so well educated in his goalie training. Thank you so much.

Mitch, I am Dane Wakefield, the “Great Dane” was my nickname. I was one of the lucky goalies to be coached by you in Newburgh. I thought your camp was the best I have ever gone to. You made me stronger physically and well as much smarter! I have been to many camps before, some in Canada, but yours is the best…hands down!!

In 10 years of attending goaltending camps (all the big names) your camp offered the most challenging and multi-dimensional demands on goaltending. Keaton and Steve both spoke very highly of the camp, and if you ever need a reference from kids that have been to numerous camps let me know.

Mitch has an unbelievable personal approach.  He is on the ice every session, and instructs most classrooms.  He knows the kids by name, and always answers his own e-mails.  What other NHL goalie coach publishes his cell phone number…and returns all his calls??

I had never seen anything like it.  The training props used were great.  High and low shot screen boards, a deflection ramp, white and these mini-pucks were FANTASTIC.  Wish I had this when I was a kid.
