“The Elite Program has been so much more than hockey to my son Ryan. It has transformed his approach to the game on-ice, off-ice and also the mental side of the game. It not only has improved Ryan's hockey skills and strength, but instilled a level of confidence that has allowed him to compete on a national level. Dean, Pete and Jax have created an environment that allows serious hockey players to prepare themselves for the next level. From the hockey skills development to the strength training, to the mentoring of the athletes,
the TH Hudson Elite Program is the complete package."

“My son Hans needed to increase his strength, speed and quickness to go to the next level. We feel that by training at Total Hockey-Hudson with Dean and Pete, it has helped achieve this goal. Han’s
strength and quickness on the ice has improved tremendously. His whole game has been elevated with the input of Total Hockey-Hudson and the personal interest that Dean and Pete have taken in
him.”
