SKILLS TRAINING
What I Teach
I work on every part of a player's game, so what we do in practice shows up in games.
Skills Foundations
The basics every player needs: the concepts, base and habits we build everything else on.
Technical Skills
The primary movement skills required to play the game effectively: skating, puck control, passing and shooting.
Tactical Skills
Decision-making, combined with technical skills, to create an advantage over opponents.
Team Skills
Playing as a unit in all three zones → Positioning, support, options and strategies within a coordinated system.
Athletic Skills
Speed, strength, conditioning & nutrition, all optimized for hockey-specific performance.
Mindset Skills
Habits and mental models that help players compete with confidence and gain a psychological edge over their opponents.

What should my player bring?
On the ice: full gear and a rink sticker. Ice Forge: athletic shoes, gloves and a stick (bring a helmet just in case). Camps: full gear, water, off-ice clothes and a meal.
How does the Skills Lab membership work?
It's $399 a month. Members book unlimited Skills Lab sticktimes (on-ice and hybrid) as often as spots allow. You can cancel anytime and your first two months are 100% refundable with no questions asked.
Can I book single camp days?
Not right now. Each day builds on the last, so the camp is 3 days only.
What ages and levels do you coach?
Most of the players I coach are 10 to 18, but any age or level is welcome.
How big are the lesson groups?
I keep groups small so every player gets real feedback. Lessons max out at 8 players.
