School Philosophy

GDHS is a “Hockey Only” institution, providing its students with a well disciplined setting, but a fun environment that is conducive to their learning how to play the game of hockey properly. This is a teaching school that will focus on proper skill instruction as well as game expertise while allowing the students to compete and have fun.

The School, now in its 36th successful year, will be under the personal direction of professional coach Lincoln Flagg. Lincoln has been with the hockey school since its inception in 1972. Lincoln has coached at the collegiate level and is currently the GM/Coach of the Jr. ‘A’ Falcons. He has helped to place over 400 players into colleges and universities across the Country with over 7 Million dollars in scholarships. Many of those players have been students at GDHS and now return each summer to teach.

GDHs staff will include professional educators, players, & coaches who have cumulatively spent hundreds of years in the “Dineen System”. Instructors such Tom O’Connor (NHL Pittsburgh Penguins), Ron Hainsey (NHL Columbus Blue Jackets), Gregg Johnson(AHL Bridgeport Sound Tigers) Rob Bellamy (Umaine), Jeff Mason (Providence college & ECHL Gwinett), Gerry Dineen (Coach Tabor prep), Bruce Marshall (Coach UConn), Len Quesnelle (Coach UMass-Amherst) Ross Mottau (Coach Northeastern) and others make this staff the most knowledgeable and gifted in this region.

Parents are hereby notified that upon request you may receive a copy of the schools policies regarding background checks, healthcare and discipline procedures. The school will comply with regulations of the Department of Public Health.
