Keekʼs Quotes:
" It is far better to be stunned that your kid made it to the NHL than to be
disappointed that he didn't. Convincingly, expect that it won't happen and
enjoy the process itself."
“I always tell my students, "To be good enough is not good enough...you have
to be overwhelmingly awesome to overcome politics and nepotism"”
“There are two types of people in the world and you are one of them.”
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
! Everything I have ever learned about this position, I have learned from
people smarter than me. I continue to learn to this day and will until I die.
The following people have been huge influences on my career as a
goaltender and as goaltending coach:
1)
Ted Ouimet
: Ted started working with me as a kid and taught me
puck handling and how to play the game. He was also the major
coaching influence on a young Mitch Korn at Can Am hockey
school.
2)
Mitch Korn
: Mitch scouted me out of Strathroy and coached me
extensively while I played college hockey. He turned me into an
NHL goaltender and then an NHL goaltending Coach with the
Toronto Maple Leafs. Neither of these feats would be remotely
possible without Mitch.
