My son has been enrolled in all SFM Elite Hockey Programs since December 2014, when he was 9 years old. Since that time, he has gone from being a marginal player struggling to make any sort of an impact on the ice, to skating with the top line on his Peewee Tier 2 team.
His main weakness was skating and the only way to get better is with lots of ice time and quality instruction. SFM Elite Skating offers that with there Coach Derek Strukoff. In my opinion Derek is the best power skating coach in the area. He is young and enthusiastic and really connects with the kids because he can do everything he asks of them. SFM believes in smaller groups which allows for more 1 on 1 training. When they are on the ice there is no wasted time, each minute they are working. He comes off the ice exhausted but still happy and he looks forward to going back every week. SFM Elite Skills and Drills with Sandy Moger and Don Hay during the summer and winter is no different when it comes to ice time and quality instruction. Sandy and Don have been to the top and they know what it takes. Both have the no BS approach to any practice is much appreciated. As a parent I know dollar for dollar my son is getting the best coaching for the money spent. The 2 past seasons my son has played for Sandy Moger and Geoff Fuoco with the Stingers Spring Hockey Club. They took a bunch of kids from all over the Okanagan and in the 2nd year won the gold medal at the Challenge Cup in Vancouver. We prefer this program to other programs because it focuses more on skill development rather than tournaments and games. As a family of 5 with other kids in sports, hockey can get expensive, so value and cost is important. Extra hockey camps and ice time on top of minor hockey can be very pricey and hard to come by in this area. I have done my research and you can not beat the value of SFM Hockey Programs.
I would recommend SFM Elite Hockey Programs to anyone looking for quality.
