"For the 2017-18 season, Sean taught our VEMHA Novice kids the proper way to skate, by showing them the proper stride, breaking it down to their level. He also provided an on ice tutorial for our coaches on how to teach the stride. The results were phenomenal. In 13 years of convening this age group, I was amazed every week on how the kid’s skating stride improved, a skill that I believe needs to be taught properly in order for the kids to progress in the other aspects of hockey. This was by far the biggest progression in skating that I have ever witnessed at this age level in all the 13 years I have been convenor. The end results saw the kids carrying the puck with confidence, passing with confidence and back checking with confidence because they were skating properly. Sean was truly dedicated to teaching the kids the proper stride, and he taught at their level, so that every child could understand his instruction. I have seen other instructors over the years teaching the stride, but Sean is head and shoulders over anyone else I have witnessed."

"My son had the chance to work with Sean last hockey season and he made a significant and long lasting impression on him in a short time. Sean gave my son a huge boost of confidence on the ice and inspired him to work harder during practice. He has a strong knowledge of the game and kids just adore him!"
