OWNER AND HEAD INSTRUCTOR

THE HOCKEY TUTOR - THT HOCKEY DEVELOPMENT

Professional Shooting and Skills Coach

I became THE HOCKEY TUTOR and created THT HOCKEY DEVELOPMENT 15 years ago

and has since traveled the world teaching and training thousands of hockey players of all levels including Major Junior, NCAA, AHL, KHL, European Leagues, and the NHL.  Tapping into my worldly experiences, years of education, and deep life-long passion for the game, I have developed an elite program producing some of the best up and coming players.  I called it The Hockey Tutor FORMULA.  Over the years I have developed an outstanding ability to identify strengths and deficiencies of my players.  I am addicted to the dynamics between the brain and body systems and have created innovative technical and tactical practices, and teaching methods, which prove to speed up the learning curve and mastery of skills, resulting in higher level athletes who perform with confidence and consistency.
