In the spring and summer Mitch runs skills skates and private lessons for elite players from Atom to Pro level. “ Its not often that players get the chance to work on SKILLS with their winter teams because most ice times are team strategy focused. I find it valuable for a player to come see me so we can focus on whatever skills they want to improve on. I think its important for the players to be 1) shown the skill so they can see how it is preformed properly 2) taught the skill in multiple steps 3) taught why/how they can use it in the game to their advantage 4) taught what game situation they can use the skill). I have a passion for teaching hockey and can’t see myself doing anything else."
