Schwartz named WHL Goaltending Consultant
Former Red Deer Rebels netminder Dustin Schwartz is joining the Western Hockey League front office.
The WHL announced Thursday they have hired Schwartz as their new Goaltending Consultant.
In his new part-time role, the league says the 38-year-old Stettler native will be responsible to oversee the WHL Goaltending Advisory Committee, which will consist of representatives from the four Western Canada provincial hockey associations (BC Hockey, Hockey Alberta, Saskatchewan Hockey Association and Hockey Manitoba), goaltending coaches from WHL Clubs in each of the Western provinces and a WHL Hockey Operations staff member.
Schwartz will work closely with the four Western provincial hockey associations to implement a development plan for the top U14, U15 and U16 goaltenders within the minor hockey development system. Additionally, he will be a participating member of the National Goaltending Advisory Group along with other Canadian Hockey League (CHL) and Hockey Canada goaltending representatives.
