Coach Spotlight: Ethan Carlone
"My goal is simple: help goalies prepare at an elite level, so when opportunity knocks, they are ready to answer."
- Coach Carlone
Hey! I’m Ethan Carlone, born and raised in Windsor, Ontario. I’ve been playing goalie for the last 9 years and coaching for the past 6. Over that time, I’ve played Junior A, B, and C in Ontario and also spent time playing Junior A in the States.
I was lucky enough to learn from some of the best in the game, including Randy Wilson (Connor Hellebuyck’s coach), Dwayne Roloson (NHL alum), Tom Hazenshal (from the U.S. Miracle Team), and Michael Leighton (18 years pro). Those experiences shaped how I play, and more importantly, how I coach.
Off the ice, I’m a certified Athletic Development Specialist with 5+ years of experience helping goalies and players become stronger, faster, and more explosive.
At the end of the day, my goal is simple: To help goalies prepare at an elite level, so when opportunity knocks, they’re ready to answer. Together, they create a balanced environment that blends proven fundamentals with progressive training — helping young goalies build confidence, sharpen their technique, and reach their full potential.
