About Me
My background
40 years in hockey skills training and coaching has rewarded me with a unique gift of being able to specialize in correcting skating stride and puck skills deficiencies. I am highly effective at breaking skills down and rebuilding them correctly from the base skill. With experience and training from Hockey Canada and the Greater Toronto Hockey League, I have also been blessed to be able to help thousands of students develop to the next level. Having assisted hundreds of coaches as a course instructor for the National Coaches Certification program, I continue to help new coaches learn the most current and effective methods to train their athletes and staff. In 2025 I became a certified Train 2.0 Downhill Skating Instructor. Hockey truly is a vehicle to learning life skills and it's a great teacher of how to develop motivation and skills to do anything in life you want!
My Support Team
My support team includes Oakville Hockey Academy. A state of the art training facility in Oakville Ontario where I train many athletes from 4-20 yrs old. As a lead instructor working alongside owner Jake DeJulio, I design and teach lessons for the Rising Stars Development League as well as provide private and semi private on ice training for athletes from beginner to adults. My support team also includes you! Yes, if you are looking for specific skills training or the latest info for your Rising Star just sign up below for more information on my services.
My Winning Philosophy
I believe effective training requires 3 important ingredients. The RIGHT teacher at the RIGHT times with the RIGHT attitude. The 3 R's every athlete needs to be successful. "When the student is ready the teacher will appear" - Buddha
