Our Team
The coaches building MGD goaltenders, from their first save to the pro ranks.
Greg Maggio
- 15+ years with MGD and Magic Hockey
- Strength & Conditioning Coach with Rengert Sports
- Goalie, Adrian College Bulldogs, ACHA Div. 1 (2018–2019)
- Goalie, Campbellton Tigers, MJAHL (2017–2018) · Valley Wildcats, MJAHL (2016–2017)
- Goalie, Victoria Cougars & Nanaimo Buccaneers, VIJHL (2014–2016)
Greg sets the curriculum, leads on the ice, and owns the quality of every session MGD runs. Over 15 years with the program he's built that standard from the inside: first as a student of the game, then as a player, now as the coach shaping the next wave of goaltenders. His own path through Junior A and the ACHA gives him a first-hand read on exactly what it takes to get there, and a coaching style built on turning that experience into habits a young goalie can actually use.
Cam Connolly
- Goalie, Junior B Ridge Meadows Flames (2020–2023)
- CSSHL U15/U16 (2016–2018)
- Cloverdale Minor
Cam's game has always been built on attention to detail. Years of competing in multiple sports at a high level sharpened an eye for the small mechanical details that separate a good save from a great one, and that same eye is what makes him such an effective coach. He sees the detail a goalie is missing before they do, and knows exactly how to fix it.
Damian Perovic
- Goalie, Junior A/B Langley Rivermen / North Van Wolf Pack (2019–2022)
- CSSHL U15/U16/U18 (2017–2019)
- Minor Hockey, Surrey Minor, BC
Damian's own game was built on technical precision, the kind most goalies spend a career chasing, and that's exactly what he brings to the bench. He's relentless about the details that hold up at the highest levels, and just as relentless about passing that standard on, always pushing his goalies toward the next level the same way he chased it himself.
Carter Capton
- USPORTS, Trinity Western University Spartans
- Goalie, Junior A Victoria Grizzlies, BCHL (2025–2026)
- Junior A Camrose Kodiaks, AJHL (2024–2025)
- Junior A Cranbrook Bucks, BCHL (2022–2024)
- CSSHL Yale U15/U16/U18 (2019–2022) · Minor Hockey, Lethbridge, AB
Carter is a student of the game in the truest sense, now playing USPORTS hockey at Trinity Western while continuing to sharpen his own. That path, setbacks included, has given him real insight into the mental side of goaltending, and he's putting it to work as an aspiring mental performance coach, helping goalies build the composure to match their skill.

MGD has built a strong mentorship program and is proud to develop the goalie instructors of the future. Current students, past students, and goalies from the minor hockey programs we work with can mentor at our camps and clinics under our instructors' guidance, gaining volunteer hours toward graduation and future education while passing their own experience on to rising goalies. Interested in mentoring with MGD? Message us. We'd love to hear from you.

Angelo Maggio
- 40+ years of hockey experience; founder of Magic Hockey and MGD
- Former goalie consultant, Portland Winterhawks, WHL
- Professional goalie for 8 years in the Italian First Division
- Mentored by Yuri Karmanov (Tretiak's goaltending partner, Moscow Red Army & USSR Olympic Team)
- Goaltending consultant and actor in the Disney film Miracle
- Goaltending coach, Kamloops Blazers Zone Teams, BCEHL
- Goaltending consultant, SFM Elite Hockey Development
Angelo is the reason a Magic Goalie Development jersey means something. A former professional goaltender in Italy, he brought that competitive edge back to Canada and spent the next 20+ years building the goaltending landscape of the Lower Mainland and Greater Vancouver from the ground up. The list of goalies who've come through his programs speaks for itself: Tristan Jarry, Laurent Brossoit, Connor Knapp, Angus Redmond, and Cam Gray, names that have gone on to the highest levels of the game, all shaped in part by Angelo's coaching. He didn't just train individual goalies; he ran development programs across the entire region and helped set the standard other coaches in the area still measure themselves against.
Angelo has since stepped back from day-to-day coaching, staying involved only through MGD's pro camp, where his experience with elite-level goalies still shows up every year. Everything else, the curriculum, the coaching standards, the philosophy he spent 15+ years building, he's passed down and entrusted to his son Greg.
Sharon Maggio
If MGD runs like a well-oiled machine, it's because Sharon is the one turning every gear behind the scenes. She's the backbone of the business: scheduling, registration, and the countless day-to-day details that keep every camp, clinic, and private session running on time.
What makes Magic successful is Sharon. She sets herself apart with the hours she puts in, and she's a natural problem solver, always juggling a dozen moving pieces without missing a beat. She also just genuinely loves the people side of it. Ask anyone who's worked with her: she doesn't treat clients like transactions, she treats them like friends, and that's built a lot of the trust and loyalty MGD has today.
