More about Ian Young:
Born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1946, Ian played his minor hockey in Scarborough. He was a First Team All-Star goaltender with the Whitby Dunlops Junior B Team in 1964 and 1965, and the Oshawa Generals in 1966 and 1967. In 1966 he led the Generals to a Memorial Cup Final and in 1967 was named the Team's Most Valuable Player. In his last junior year, misfortune struck when a slapshot hit him in the eye, ending what would have been an illustrious N.H.L. career.
Ian has coached the Oshawa General's goaltenders since 1983, with five of his students having graduated to the N.H.L. His years with the Generals have included three Memorial Cup visits and one Cup victory. Ian has also consulted several N.H.L. teams. Students from across North American continue to be attracted to Ian's popular goaltending school.
Ian's three published books on goaltending, coupled with his coaching success, have earned him the title The Guru of Goaltending.
