Testimonials

My son has had a great experience working with Ian, they go over game film, and breakdown each shift and what could be better or what was a positive play. They also discuss training off ice as well as good habits on and off the ice. My son‘s confidence has gotten up tremendously as well as his production. In the first 10 games of the season, he only had three points. Since working with Ian in his last 15 games, he has 10 points, and more importantly his IQ has gone up and is just seeing the game a little bit differently.

We are incredibly grateful for the mentorship Max has provided for our son, Weston. Max is not only an accomplished hockey player at Brown but also an outstanding role model who has truly leaned into Weston’s development. The bond they’ve created is remarkable; Weston sees Max as an older brother and eagerly anticipates each of their interactions. Max has created a safe, supportive space for Weston, helping him navigate everything from tough team dynamics to nutrition to film review. The impact on Weston’s growth, both on and off the ice, has been extraordinary in such a short time.

Thank you to Max and to Tyler for making this opportunity possible through this program. It has been a game-changer in Weston’s journey, and we are incredibly thankful.

Tyler has been mentoring my 13 year old son for 6 months and I have nothing but great things to say! My son has been slow to open up, but Tyler has been patient and kind. Since meeting Tyler, my son has become very interested in health and his nutrition which has helped improve his eating habits. He goes outside in the yard to practice his stick handling and started conditions/weight training. He even tells his friends about his sessions with Tyler. Tyler has been such a strong, positive influence on my son and we are very happy!

I am pleased to recommend Ethan based on the positive experience my son had while working with him. Ethan did an outstanding job making each session not only productive but also fun and exciting. His ability to connect through pop culture and his engaging approach bridged the typical age gap seen in youth hockey coaching, which is often dominated by parent coaches. His professionalism, enthusiasm, and genuine interest in my son’s development have been truly commendable.

It has been very helpful. I have always watched my film, but watching it with another set of eyes can really help one see where their faults lie and allows one to really focus on specific aspects of their game to improve. For example my stick positioning was okay not great, and Ethan kept pointing it out till I fixed it. The extra mental reps of watching film with the added benefit of watching it with someone that knows and understands the game can be very useful and definitely improved my game.
