Gernold Goaltending and Advisement

ABOUT
My experience includes time with the Mercyhurst ACHA D1 hockey team as the Goaltending Analyst. I also served as a coach with the Hasek’s Heros Goalie Camp and worked with former professional and Olympic goaltender David Leggio as a coach with his goalie school. In addition, I obtained my Level 1 USA Hockey coaching certification and plan on completing the goalie specific levels as allowed. My playing experience includes time with the Southtowns Stars organization, 4 years with the Orchard Park Varsity Federation team, 1 year with Hilbert College, and time with the Mercyhurst ACHA D1 team.
I bring a love of the game and a passion for goaltending, as well as the desire to bring out the best in all of my students. I am always looking for new ways to learn and expand my knowledge. In addition, I believe that a goaltenders mental and off-ice preparation is just as important as on ice work. I also feel that hockey can be used as a great opportunity to open up doors that allow the goaltender to obtain a great education while playing the game they love.
