What People Say About Me
“If you are a serious hockey player wanting to get the upper edge for your season and career you need to check out Ryan. I attended several camps, private lessons and even played for Ryan. Ryan has a great attention to detail critiquing the small things that make a big impact on your game. The power skating really helped me become a stronger skater. The drills and games are tailored to challenge your skills but are also creative helping you expand your hockey sense. Ryan really helped me get to where I am today, playing for Boston University.”

“I was looking for a way to turn some heads this season. Working with Coach Ryan Schmidt not only made me a better player, but pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me break bad habits. Coach Schmidt’s drills mimic real game situations and give you an advantage over the competition.”
