Jim Thomson Hockey Director Everest High School Hockey Program |
Before I met Jim, I was just another face in the crowd, in the game of hockey and in life. Thanks to his unique personality, and NHL calibre skills I was able to see my potential and strive for it. The professional training that Jim offers improved my overall and specific skills by a lot in a very short period of time. His approach on training, on and off the ice, changed my way of thinking, and helped me to see things with a better perspective. Now with the new confidence I can say that thanks to Jim, I became a better hockey player and a person. - Nikita Poliakov
“Throughout my professional career I owned and operated hockey schools. I worked with many promising young students who reached maximum potential and are now playing in the CHL, Europe Pro Leagues and the NHL. Just as rewarding I’ve also trained many young players and taken them from house league to rep hockey. At Everest, I employ the same NHL style training and skills development to allow students to reach their full potential.” - Jim Thomson

Their goalie school - The Crease Goaltending Academy - has been in operation since 1999 and has a great reputation in the GTHL. Their success can be attributed to their communication skills, their multi-dimensional approach to goaltending, and their style of teaching which is a fusion of old school fundamentals with new age movements.
