Gold in the Net International Training Center was the brain child of Founder and President Perry Elderbroom. The idea for the project started a number of years ago and the plan was put into action September 2002. Having to deal time and time again with the shortage of ice and sporadic ice times for his Private Clients, he felt that there was beginning to be a serious need for an alternative. Also with the increasing demand on the company to provide Goaltending Mini Clinics throughout the region we felt a Centre to offers these Goaltenders a professional level of training on a on going bases would allow the goaltender advanced training and development to be able to take their game to the next level. The Training Centre has a real ice sheet 53 X 34 feet. Three large dressing rooms and a team room complete with Showers, Sink and Toilet. With the recent addition of a viewing room to watch the sessions as well as a meeting or party room.
