Goaltending

About Us

A.R. Action-Reaction Goaltending continues to grow and is determined and committed to provide a consistent, high quality product to all of Eastern ontario and of its present and future clients.

A.R. Action-Reaction Goaltending was officially founded in 2009 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, by owner and head instructor Adam Russo.

While in B.C., Action-Reaction Goaltending was hired by many high quality goaltending camp programs and companies to assist with their summer programs. At the same time the company grew its own client base of goaltenders, providing them with private and group instruction.

A.R. Action-Reaction Goaltending has since then moved to Eastern Ontario, where it has grown into a well respected goalie training name. In its first year in Eastern Ontario, A.R. Action-Reaction Goaltending was involved with organizations like the Ontario Hockey Academy, the Cornwall Typhoons, and Seaway Valley Minor Hockey all in Cornwall. They have also serviced district 4 and all of its involved minor hockey associations providing clinics and team practice instruction.

Crossing borders, A.R. Action-Reaction Goaltending has also provided goalie development for the Voltigeurs du Collège Bourget in Rigaud, Quebec, and for Hockey Canada at the IIHF World Junior Championship development camp in Brossard, Quebec. Owner and head instructor Adam Russo was also the preferred goalie coach for the Hawkesbury Hawks Jr. A and U18 program for 7 years until he left for other opportunities in 2021. ARG has provided development in multiple cities in the USA where Adam had played in his career, and continue to offer programs in those areas when we can.

Our Philosophy

With the experience of being a small goalie himself, Adam Russo knows the importance of making up for size in quickness, playing big, and being smart with the puck.

"My goal is to bring what I have learned throughout my career, what I know and use in my game today, and what I see first-hand at the level I play, to my goaltenders, and prepare them for that next step. I have always been hungry to succeed and I have never given up, nor will I ever, and I think that makes me someone that can help people succeed. My philosophy is simple, you can have fun, work hard, and succeed all at the same time, but you have to have that drive and hunger to be the best.
That is what I want and ask of anyone that steps on the ice with me."
