Dean's Philosophy on Hockey Training

"I created Total Hockey to help players develop their skills and take their game to the next level. Our programs are hockey-specific and work on all the basic skills required to play the game. We’ve kept the training fun and positive with challenging drills. Throughout each session, each player will frequently be handling a puck or ball. Our program will improve each player’s athleticism and it will build confidence in their puck skills and playmaking ability. It is impossible to improve a player’s total skills with on ice practices and games only.I’m excited about Total Hockey and its potential for helping each individual player no matter what level they are playing at."

Should the Minnesota Wild trade Marian Gaborik?
