About

Since 2005 Pro Goal Development has been providing High Performance Goaltending Development throughout Western Canada. Jeff Battah and Denis Sproxton originally operated out of Alberta, with expansion into Saskatchewan in the form of an affiliation with Western Prospects Hockey Development.

In 2010 PGD Hockey has moved into the Vancouver and Lower Mainland area and Jeff Battah and former 16 year pro Dusty Imoo have joined together to expand PGD Hockey’s base.
