“My daughter did private lessons with Jake - after an initial evaluation and two 30 minute sessions, her edge work and speed were noticeably improved. Best of all, she had FUN!”

“Jake has been a great influence working with our son in private lessons and as team coach. Jake connects well with youth players, teaching skating & hockey skills that are easily translated to in-game action. My son continues to have fun and gain confidence in each of his sessions with Jake, as he continues to develop his skills... thanks Coach Jake!”

“Jake has worked with our son for two years and counting both on the ice and off. He has this way of making our teenager work out of his comfort zone and smile while doing it. Jake challenges him, believes in him, and guides him through everything. Our son’s hockey game has improved ten-fold since he’s started on-ice training with Jake, and off the ice, his work ethic in the gym has helped him become stronger both physically and mentally. Jake recognizes kids are multi-sport athletes, so it’s refreshing to watch him help our son succeed in his cross country and track goals, on top of his hockey ones. When our son reaches a goal, he can’t wait to tell Jake. And when he misses it, he goes to Jake for advice on new ways for achieving it. I can’t think of a better role model I’d like in my son’s life than Jake Toporowski”
