and The area’s top pro, college, junior, high school, prep and youth hockey goalies choose Mike Buckley for the proven success of his systematic approach to goaltending. Coach Buckley's system fits into all players' games, at all levels. The GDS system is a thoroughly mapped out set of principles and variables that lays the groundwork of the goaltender's game. The system builds on the six core fundamentals of goaltending: Skating, stance, positioning, save selection, rebound control and recovery. GDS coaching creates a strong technical base complemented by a focus on an athletic, unbounded style of play. This allows goaltenders to develop their own style based on their strengths, resulting in quick efficient movements and confidence in their game.
In addition to being president of GDS, Coach Buckley is also the head goaltending coach for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Mike Buckley has helped develop 4 Stanley Cup winning goaltenders in the past 8 years, along with becoming the first U.S. born goaltending coach to win the Stanley Cup in 2016, and a second time in 2017. GDS also provides goaltending consulting to sports management groups, NHL scouts, top prep schools, junior teams and youth hockey organizations including Top Gun, Lovell Advantage, NE Generals, KPW Youth Hockey, North Attleboro Youth Hockey, Assabett Valley Girls, Andover Youth Hockey, Manchester Monarchs, NH Avalanche, Northern Cyclones, Seacoast Spartans, Seacoast Lightning, Manchester Flames, Masco Youth Hockey, Danvers Youth Hockey, and Methuen Youth Hockey. Mike Buckley is also on the Goalie Advisory Staff for CCM and USA hockey.
