Dave Kennedy

Co-Owner/Goaltending Coach 

I have been teaching goaltenders how to stop pucks for a very long time. So long that my first goalie coach was Johnny Bower! He taught me to not be scared of pucks – and obviously, the poke check! Years later, I had the privilege to experience pro hockey in the ECHL (Mobile/Pensacola) and playing for Club Hielo Vitoria Gasteiz in Spain. Teaching in those cities, as well as for Saves Goaltending in the summer, contributed to my love of coaching and giving back. Being a Dad of 3 amazing kids, helping a young goalie improve is amazing – but seeing students also make improvements at home and school is an incredible feeling. Co-owning Armour Goaltending and teaching with Zac is the best job on the planet… doing it with my son Logan is priceless.
