my Story

Hi, I'm Coach Dino!

Like you, I fell in love with hockey at a young age. I started skating at 12 years old and I had a lot of catching up to do. Almost like learning a new language, I paid close attention to every technique and form that I was taught. Other players were more experienced so I was determined to be more precise. That single decision allowed me
to quickly close the gap and play both Prep School and College Hockey - culminating in
being a member of the ACHA Division 1 University of Arizona National Championship Team in 1985.
‍
I became a hockey coach soon after graduating from college. Attention to detail and quick recognition of patterned behaviors has made me a much better coach than I ever was as a player. This training program is a cumulative amalgamation of all that I’ve done, experienced, taught, and learned. I have been training top level hockey players for
years, and the feedback that I’ve received most tends to contain the words “Counterintuitive”, “Precise”, “Fun”, “Engaging” “Technique” and “Tricky”.

However, there is nothing tricky about repetitive precision and pattern breaking creativity. I look forward to working with you and helping you to maximize your growth, enjoyment, and opportunities in the greatest game in the world.
