Shane Clifford Offers Hockey Goalie Lessons

In 3 Locations In The Greater Pittsburgh Pa Area

Coach Jacob Zab
Alpha Ice Complex (Harmarville, PA)

Coach Zab says the best advice he received as a young hockey student was to enjoy the journey, not the destination. And it’s been a fantastic journey so far. Born on Easter Sunday in Cleveland, Ohio, Zab grew up playing hockey in his hometown before being in net for the USPHL Premier Pittsburgh Vengeance for three years. He played four years NCAA Division 1 hockey for the University of Nebraska Omaha and has time with the ECHL minor league Wheeling Nailers. A student of Shane Clifford Goalie School for eight years, Zab now lives in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, and holds degrees in business administration and marketing management. His favorite thing about coaching is being able to leave a positive impact on someone’s life.

Coach Landon Anderson
Baierl Ice Complex (Warrendale, PA)

“Coach Utah” comes to the Shane Clifford Goalie School after being in net four years at the University of Utah. Although he now calls Greensburg, Pennsylvania home, he hails from Salt Lake City, Utah, with several stops for hockey along the way. He played youth hockey for the Colorado Rampage, then spent his junior hockey years with the NA3HL Gillette Wild, EHL Valley Junior Warriors, and the USPHL Premier Pittsburgh Vengeance. Landon holds a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology, is a certified NASM athletic trainer, and may be the world’s number one chocolate milk fan. He hopes his students come to appreciate what a privilege it is to feel the pressure of playing in big and close games—and knowing that success or failure in those moments doesn’t define you as a player or as a person.

Coach Tyler Hawk
Printscape Arena at Southpointe (Canonsburg, PA)

Tyler Hawk grew up in Los Angeles, and like his favorite goalie, Jonathan Quick, his hockey career has taken him from coast to coast. A student of Shane’s for 10 years, Tyler played youth hockey with the Milwaukee Junior Admirals. His junior hockey years led him to the GOJHL Fort Erie Meteors, followed by the USPHL Premier Pittsburgh Vengeance and NA3HL Iowa Bulls. Now a resident of Bridgeville, Pennsylvania, Tyler played collegiate hockey at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where he earned a B.S. in Sports Administration. Coach Hawk loves watching young goalies develop into the best version of themselves—as an ice hockey player and as a person. He hopes to pass along the best advice he received in hockey: focus only on the things you can actually control. Everything else is just noise.
