Total Hockey – Eagan

NHL Hall of Famer and Participant in Total Hockey Florida

" My involvement with Total Hockey stems from my firm belief that North American hockey players have never had the opportunity to develop skills comparable to our European peers. We play hockey but seldom focus primarily on the skills that separate the good from the great players. Puck handling, power skating, shooting, even hockey instinct development. In my view Total Hockey offers to bridge that gap. The quality of the off-ice programs will most certainly turn any young hockey player into a more confident and skillful skater when he next hits the ice."

Former team physiologist and skating coach at the NHL level and the 1980, ’84, ’88, ’92 and ’94 U.S. Olympic Hockey Teams.

 
"The program at Total Hockey is a great example of what happens when a hockey mind thinks creatively about helping youngsters become better players. Dean Talafous knows from first-hand experience the importance of quickness in the first few strides and the ability to combine stick skills with skating and vision."

 

Internationally renowned power skating coach and author of the book POWER SKATING

"I was privileged to see Total Hockey in action. I was very impressed with the ‘total’ approach to hockey training. The skating ramp is one of the best ways to train off ice for explosive acceleration that I’ve ever seen. A great concept and one that really works. Players who want to ‘get the jump’ should definitely work on the skating ramp. Players who want to develop their total hockey skills should go to Total Hockey."

 

Stanley Cup Champion with The Colorado Avalanche (NHL),  Current player for The St. Louis Blues (NHL), and partner in the Total Hockey West Metro Facility.

"Total Hockey Training will drastically improve all players, from mites to professionals.  The SPEED RAMP gives me that extra step that I need to stay quick and competitive in the NHL.  Total Hockey is by far the best skills training program for ALL ages and levels of players."

Former U of M Gopher (Nat’l Champs ’02) and MN Mr. Hockey (’99) 

"Players at all levels will benefit form the Total Hockey training program. Training on the SPEED RAMP has flat out made me quicker. I highly recommend Total Hockey to all players looking to improve their game." 

"Total Hockey is the best hockey camp I have ever done. The off-ice drills really make you improve your game. The training techniques and the staff are the BEST!"

• Maddie McGraw, Bloomington Jefferson H.S.

"Both my sons enjoyed your program. They are hooked! The exciting part as a parent is that the kids learned a lot, saw themselves improve and had fun. They don’t even realize how hard they were being worked. Both boys want to return. At home they are practicing what they learned, which will continue to improve their play."
