Inspiring Goaltenders and Coaches: The Connect.Hockey Journey
From player to entrepreneur: how his passion for hockey and computer science led him to Connect.Hockey
Anthony has always had a deep passion for hockey. From his early days in the QMJHL, OHL and ECHL to his time in college hockey, sport has been a constant presence in his life. However, multiple concussions forced him to make a tough decision and walk away from the game he loved.
Our history
Combining Knowledge and Passion:
Anthony has always had a deep passion for hockey. With a degree in computer science, he quickly saw the opportunity to merge his technical skills with this passion to help goalies improve their performance.
​
A Spark During the Pandemic:
During the pandemic, Anthony realized the growing need for accessible at-home training solutions for goalies. This realization inspired the creation of Connect.Hockey, an app designed to help goalies keep training, even when they couldn't access traditional facilities.
​
From Idea to App:
Seeing the positive impact of his initial program, Anthony transformed the idea into a mobile application, Connect.Hockey, aimed at providing goalies, coaches, and organizations with practical resources all in one place.
​
Tested in Quebec:
To ensure that Connect.Hockey truly met users' needs, Anthony partnered with an organization in Lévis to test the app. Feedback from goalies and coaches allowed him to fine-tune the app, making it both practical and effective.
​
Practical Features:
Connect.Hockey offers features designed specifically for goalies and their coaches: live performance tracking, personalized exercises with video and audio instructions, and much more.
​
Facilitating Collaboration:
The app enables Anthony to facilitate communication between goalies and coaches, offering continuous progress tracking and real-time feedback.
​
Building a Community:
Anthony also wants Connect.Hockey to become a platform that brings together goalies and coaches. With free coach accounts and affordable options, he aims to make the app accessible to everyone.
​
Always Evolving:
Connect.Hockey continues to improve, driven by a passion for hockey and a commitment to helping goalies reach their full potential. Over the past few years, William Rousseau has been instrumental in this journey. As an active goalie on the field, William has provided invaluable insights, helping us to accurately target the app's features to meet the real needs of goalies.
