“It is one thing for a coach to see the benefit of a shooting and stick handling specialist but ultimately it is the players that would have to be impressed. After a weekend session with Jari and his group our team was hooked. Not only does he cover all the technical fundamentals for improvement but his energy is so contagious our players continually stayed engaged. Jari brings a winning formula and attitude to his lessons, something I want in developing our players for the NHL.”

MICHAEL DEL ZOTTO

VANCOUVER CANUCKS (NHL)

“SK8ON has done wonders for me. Coming into the OHL with lots of pressure on me I wanted to make sure I came in with confidence. SK8ON did just that for me. Receiving private lessons made my first 3 steps along with my overall speed that much better allowing me to keep up in the”O” as I did in minor hockey. The (private) lessons really challenged me to soften and quicken up my hands and it has paid off. Not only were the (private) lessons very tough they were also lots of fun. I couldn’t be happier that I received private lessons in the summer because it has done nothing but benefit me as a player and a person. Thanks a lot SK8ON.”

I am looking forward to working with you a great deal in the future.”
