Jake decided to switch from being a goalie to a defenseman at the age of 13. This is not easy and A BOLD move, but he was extremely focused and dedicated during his 1 on 1 sessions with Coach Rex. Worked hard and showed big improvements to play out – especially discovering and strengthening your outside edges.


Jake learned and improved on – a skater’s hockey stance, shortened stick and handle his stick properly, stationary & moving puck control, edge control, starting & stopping, striding with the puck, turns, lateral movement, crossovers, backward skating & stopping, forward to backward pivots, passing both stationary & moving, shooting in stride plus 1 on 1 puck protection, keep away, puck battles and 1 on 1 scrimmages throughout the week. The necessary fundamentals to play out.

“Jake you were a pleasure to coach. Remember stay off No: 4 on your blades or you will be looking up at the lights! Best wishes this upcoming season!”
