What Players & Parents Are Saying
Cayce (hDNA Parent)
As a mom it is so important to me to have my kids connect with people and create relationships with them. Working with you guys has been such a blessing. You’ve connected with them, built trust, and from my perspective, the relationship that you have with each of them is really special. Truly, it’s like a family! Secondly, the process you’ve established for mentoring, supporting, and providing essential feedback is so professional and engaging. I think the most important part is watching their confidence grow and watching them mature not only on the ice, but off the ice. We are really lucky to have found Hockey DNA! You guys are so appreciated!

"First off, I want to tell you that I was blown away by the analysis & engagement! Top shelf stuff!
Having you guys by their side is the best decision we have made for our boys and their path whatever that might be.
The boys love working with you! The video analysis, written analysis, the way you communicate with them is the perfect combination of tools to get the learning across. Since working with you guys, it has boosted their confidence and work ethic and I think love for the game. They feel special because the time you dedicate to them as players and kids."
