Rod has been the U of Regina goalie coach and the goaltending coach for the Regina Pat Canadians for several years.  He has a passion for teaching and a love for the position of goaltending. He’s been doing this in partnership with LBMHA for a number of years and we’re excited to have him back again this year.

 

Some goalie equipment is provided by LBMHA for players up to and including the U13 division.  Extra equipment is available for players who would like to try playing the position during the goalie sessions.

lbmha goalie mentor sessions

Lumsden Bethune Minor Hockey Association (LBMHA) is excited to announce that the goalie mentorship program for LBMHA U9, U11 and U13 divisions will be offered again for the 2026-2027 hockey season.  As we all know, goalies are a vital part of our teams and there are often limited players in these roles.  LBMHA is committed to the development, recruitment, and retention of goalies within our association.  

LBMHA’s Goalie Mentorship Program is a paid opportunity for goalies in the U15 and U18 divisions to attend team practices and work with goalies on all teams in the U9, U11 and U13 divisions.  LBMHA will provide support to the goalie mentors and work with the coaches to develop a plan that works to meet their goalie/team needs during practices when a goalie mentor is attending.

Tyler Toderan coordinates the goalie mentoring program.  If you have any questions or would like to book a goalie mentor for upcoming practices, please reach out to Tyler at lbmhalynxgoalie@gmail.com. 

Tyler will coordinate mentors and cover the cost for each team to receive 4 sessions throughout the season.  If desired, teams can book sessions with the goalie mentors directly; each session cost $25.00 (per practice).  Please remember to let Tyler know when you have booked a mentor directly so that he can ensure they get paid.

Thanks for everyone’s continued support of this great initiative!

GOALIES - 2026-2027 Season

​​​​​​​goalie rebate information

Lumsden Bethune Minor Hockey Association (LBMHA) continuing with our commitment to attracting and retaining goalies within the association.  Having ample goalie numbers for all teams in each division is an ongoing challenge that is not unique to our association.  LBMHA is continuing to be proactive in our approach to the development, recruitment, and retention of goalies within our association. 

I am excited to share that for the 2026-2027 season, LBMHA is maintaining the registration fee rebate program for U13, U15 and U18 goalies. It is LBMHA’s intension to retain this initiative as a long-term incentive to overcome the additional cost incurred by goalies for equipment and training as they get older and remove the “it costs too much” reality to deter young goalies from playing the position.  The registration fee rebates provided to goalies are payable at the end of the season and the program does not include goalies where their home association is not originally LBMHA.  The rebates are as follows:

U13 – 30%

U15 & U18 – 50%

In addition to this ongoing commitment, LBMHA is continuing with all the following goaltending programming:

  1. 8 Rod Houk goalie sessions throughout the season to support goalie development.  Sessions are geared to U7-U13 goalies.  Costs for these sessions are covered by LBMHA. No need to register, just show up if interested in trying the position.  An email with dates and times will be sent out shortly and will be posted on the LBMHA Website under the Goalies tab https://leagues.teamlinkt.com/lbmha/GOALIES.

 

  1. Goalie Mentorship:  this will be a paid opportunity for LBMHA goalies in the U15 and U18 division to attend practices with the U7 to U13 divisions to help coach goalies on the teams.  Training and support will be provided to those who commit to the role.  Each team will receive 4 sessions throughout the season covered by LBMHA.  Teams can book additional sessions and pay the goalie mentors directly, each session will cost $25.00 (per practice).  Additional information will be sent out shortly and will be posted on the LBMHA Website under the Goalies tab https://leagues.teamlinkt.com/lbmha/GOALIES.

 

  1. Goalie equipment available to borrow for goalies in the U7 to U13 age divisions to try and play the position.

 

The LBMHA board of directors is excited about our opportunities for goalies in our association.  We are confident that with these additional resources LBMHA will be successful in not only supporting our existing goalies but also in developing new players in the position.  Please contact LBMHA Goalie Coordinator, Aaron Schweitzer at LBMHAgoalie@gmail.com or LBMHA Lynx Goalie Coordinator Tyler Toderan at lbmhalynxgoalie@gmail.com if you have questions about any of the goalie programming.

Good luck this season!
