Who is Gordie Tumilson?
Gordie is a long time Goalie and Goalie coach residing in Winnipeg, Manitoba! Working with young goalies of all ages! “I can proudly call myself an original Winnipeg Jet, earning an AVCO Cup, WHA championship, a team 1st in our 4th season 1975-76"!
Coaching Philosophy is "STPHF"
My coaching theory is simple, "Stop the Puck, Have Fun". Conquering the mental part of being a goalie can be challenging but it also has to be fun!

What others are saying:
Kian Hodgins (2006) - Ottawa, Ontario
Kian was 15 when he came to Pilot Mound for a year in order to prepare for Jr. A hockey. Kian’s trust in us was realized the day he signed with the Adirondack Thunder in the EHLP
From Kian's Dad, Dave Hodgins
"We could not be more pleased at watching our son Kian develop his confidence and skill as a goalie under Gordie and the coaching staff at Pilot Mound. We were so proud when, as a 15-year-old, everyone’s hard work was recognized when Kian was nominated by the CSSHL for the goalie of the year
award."
