The Collingwood Minor Hockey Association (CMHA) has scheduled specialized goaltender development clinics at the Eddie Bush Memorial Arena for Friday, February 6, 2026, for players U10 through U18. The sessions are intended to provide position‑specific coaching and will occupy morning and afternoon ice blocks, which could reduce other available ice time at the single‑pad arena.

Sessions are organized by age divisions (U10–U11, U12–U13, U14–U15 and U16–U18) and are typically structured into morning and afternoon blocks (for example, roughly 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m.). Exact time assignments and block structure will be confirmed by CMHA when registration opens.

The clinics are organized by the Collingwood Minor Hockey Association (CMHA), potentially in partnership with coaching staff from the Collingwood Blues (OJHL). Alessandro Lupo, the Collingwood Blues’ goalie coach, has been identified in background materials as a likely candidate to oversee on‑ice drills and technique sessions.

Because Eddie Bush Memorial Arena is a single‑pad facility, scheduling multi‑hour clinics during weekday daytime hours can displace other users (public skates or private rentals) and highlights competition for limited municipal ice time.

Registration is expected to open through CMHA’s RAMP and Spordle portals, with priority given to registered Rep and Local League members. Contact CMHA (office@collingwoodhockey.com) to confirm fees, capacity limits and whether goalies from neighbouring associations may register on a space‑available basis.
