Meet Coach Nick
Nick D’Errico has been a goaltending coach for 15 years, first starting with the Allston-Brighton Flyers in Boston before becoming goaltending director with the Central Mass Revolution (formerly Starhawks Youth Hockey).
In 12 years with the Revs, he has built up a grassroots program from scratch and alleviated the common goaltending shortage seen across many community organizations. Those who try goalie with Coach Nick can’t wait to get back on the ice.
Nick was also the Head Coach of Mount St. Charles Academy’s Varsity 2 and JV teams, is a Goaltending Development Coordinator for Massachusetts Hockey, and holds a Level 4 and Gold-level goaltending CEP with USA Hockey. He lives in Mendon, MA, with his wife, two children, and two dogs.
Our Mission
- To make goaltending development more accessible for those who want to play.
- To elevate the quality of coaching through education and support resources.
- To ignite a deep passion for goaltending and hockey in every participant.
- To foster core life skills such as self-awareness, critical thinking, and work ethic, through sport.
- To build lifelong bonds and support networks among the goaltending community.
Coaching Philosophy
Every athlete deserves to develop to their fullest potential. We view sport as a critical tool that builds better people with better habits for life beyond the rink.
Coach Nick and D’Crease instructors take a highly personalized approach using Autonomous Supportive Coaching and Self-Determination Theory:
The Essentials
Our goalies are SICC. 🤙
- Skating: We’re the best skaters on the ice—no exceptions.
- Intelligent: We understand the game, are inquisitive, critical thinkers, are self aware, and leave no stone unturned.
- Creative: We’re not cookie-cutter goalies. When the going gets tough, the tough think outside the box. We find the style that works best for us.
- Competitors: We never give up on the puck. Ever.
