Robert Jacobson
Goalie Coach
Hockey Background
I grew up in Los Angeles and have been playing hockey since the age of 5. I have played AAA hockey for the LA Selects, Titans, and Jr. Kings under some of California's most influential coaches. I went on to play Junior A hockey in Canada in the BCHL for the Chilliwack Chiefs, as well as the AJHL for the Bonnyville Pontiacs. Growing up in LA as a young goalie I was blessed to be trained by James Jensen and Lyle Mast who are the creators of Head Trajectory training which has rejuvenated and revitalized the careers such as Eric Comrie, Dustin Wolf, Frederik Andersen and Devin Dubnyk to name a few.
Approach to Coaching
My approach as goalie coach for the Flyers will be to work on basic skills for our younger goalies, building a strong base around skating ability, positioning and overall mechanics that make goaltending so complex. For our older goalies I plan to utilize real game situations to simplify the aspects of goaltending. Transitioning into coaching has been extremely rewarding for myself and I hope that I can have a similar impact on the future generations of goalies in California
