Testimonial quotes:

Joe Hicketts - currently playing with the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL) 

"Mark and Crosby have been a big part of my career to date.  Their ability to connect with young players on a personal and professional level is what sets them apart from others.  From on ice skills to off ice training, the two of them combine to offer a program that not only develops your game but ultimately instills the values to help shape a young players' career"

 

Henrik and Johanna Sedin (Vancouver Canuck Captain)

"We feel fortunate for our son Harry to have had a wonderful experience skating with Michelle.  She helped inspire not only a love of skating but also learning, and has given Harry the determination to continue in sports.  Her approach is organized and positive.  I would highly recommend Michelle as a skating coach for anyone wanting to excel and develop at any level of sport." 

 

We will also have a number of MML/Junior level players assisting on ice/acting as group leaders for the players... and we are working on securing some possible special guest coaches as well
