COACHES & EXECUTIVES

"Matt Smith has been the Guelph Storm goaltending coach for 6 seasons and has significantly improved the performance of our goaltenders. Every goaltender we have had in our system has had considerably more success, then in the past. Under Matt's tutelage our goaltenders have set franchise records in wins, shutouts, minutes played and won an OHL championship. Under his guidance I feel all our goaltenders have had easily 25% improvement. He is young, passionate, energetic, a great relationship builder, a superb teacher, and his technical knowledge is amazing. I believe any NHL team would be fortunate to have him in their organization."

Mike Kelly former General Manager Guelph Storm OHL - Guelph Sports Hall of Fame Inductee

"Our Organization hired Matt in 2012 to work with our goaltenders and I am happy to report that they have improved tremendously through his attention to detail, work ethic, and general knowledge towards the position. I am happy to recommend Matt Smith Goaltending Inc. to any goaltender trying to take their game to another level."

Scott Walker former Assistant coach Vancouver Canucks (NHL)

"Matt is someone with very high character. I think his experience is a huge asset for young goaltenders. I would highly recommend any goaltenders who want to learn from someone who has played and coached at an elite level."
