Elevate the 6th is a virtual goalie development and mentorship program designed to help young goaltenders reach their full potential. Founded by former NHL and KHL goalie Yann Danis, the program combines expert video analysis, mental performance coaching, and career guidance to give goalies a competitive edge—on and off the ice.

2. Who is this program for?

Elevate the 6th is for goalies of all levels, from youth and high-performance minor hockey to junior, prep, and college-bound athletes. Whether you're looking to sharpen your game, boost your confidence, or get recruited, our program is tailored to meet your specific goals.

5. What makes Elevate the 6th different from other goalie programs?

We don’t just teach saves—we build complete goaltenders. Our program is led by a former NHL goalie with over 13 years of pro experience, offering a unique blend of technical coaching, game management insights, and mental performance strategies. It’s a holistic approach to modern goaltending.
