Jake and his team are always on time and communicate very well. Jake is a fantastic skater and skating instructor with all of the modern skating techniques. Jake and his other instructors connect great with the kids. Worth every penny when you see in just a couple months the improvements in my grandson's game with his explosiveness and stamina. His techniques on changing directions has helped him rise to the top.
Jake has helped me cut harder and faster. He has also helped me know how to use my inside edges more during games along with helping me on one timers and my shots, he has helped my shot by far. This was the best clinic I did this summer and the best one I will do until Jake stops coaching.

The coaching team did an incredible job creating a positive and motivating environment. They made practices fun while still challenging the players to give their best effort. We saw real improvement, not only in skills, but also in confidence and love for the game. It was an outstanding experience all around.

Both coach Jake and coach Brenden were fantastic. They created an atmosphere that was fun while still pushing us to work hard and improve. Every drill had a purpose and I could feel myself getting better each session. It was a great experience that made me love the game even more.
