Goalie Clinic

Goalie Drew Adams was the 2011 and 2012 Warrior MLL Goalie of the Year, becoming only the third player to win the award in consecutive years. Starting in the cage for all 14 regular season games and the playoff game for the Lizards, Drew posted a .5195 save percentage in 2012, helping the Lizards to eight wins on the season.

Two goalie clinic sessions will be offered on January 6. Session 1 will be for boys currently in grades 1 through 6, and will run from Noon until 1:30 pm. Session 2 will be for boys currently in grades 7 through 12 and will run from 1:30pm until 3:00pm.
