My favorite highlight of this program is how they show us how to bounce and reset after a bad goal, how to help your team out and stay locked in.

Meet Your Coach
Coach Grant
Grant Truesdell is a lifelong athlete, competitive hockey goalie, and founder of The Hockey Lab. With over 30 years of experience playing and coaching the position, Grant understands the technical, physical, and mental demands goalies face at every stage of development.
As a goalie and athlete, Grant competed in high-pressure environments where confidence, focus, and composure mattered as much as skill. That experience now shapes his coaching philosophy: development must be intentional, structured, and guided over time.
Outside of hockey, Grant is also an internationally touring musician and Juno Award winner, performing at the highest levels where preparation, mindset, and execution under pressure are non-negotiable. This unique background gives him a deep understanding of how athletes perform when expectations are high and mistakes are amplified.
At The Hockey Lab, Grant specializes in goalie development through mentorship.
Grant is also the creator of The Mental Edge, a mindset training system integrated into The Hockey Lab Development Path to help athletes build consistency, emotional control, and confidence in competition.
Above all, Grant believes great coaching is about clarity, trust, and long-term growth. He works closely with athletes and parents to provide clear development plans, honest feedback, and consistent support throughout the season.
