Philosophy

​

Built Different Hockey Development is founded on a simple belief: greatness is earned through hard work, discipline, and purpose.

​

With a focused 6:1 player-to-coach ratio, every athlete receives the attention, challenge, and individualized feedback needed to grow the right way.

​

I don’t just run ice time, I teach hockey. Every rep has purpose, every drill connects to real game habits, and athletes learn the why behind every movement. This creates players who think faster, react smarter, and make elite decisions under pressure.

​

Parents who want more than a high-paced clinic or generic skills session choose BDH because the environment is intentional, developmental, and structured. Teaching is personal, standards are high, and the goal is long-term excellence not quick, meaningless reps.

​

The path to becoming an elite defenseman isn’t about flash or shortcuts. It’s built on fundamentals: skating, puck control, edge work, decision-making, and hockey IQ. These are the foundations of every great player, developed one brick at a time.

​

At Built Different Hockey, every progression is designed with purpose from foundational mechanics to direct game application. Players learn how to execute, when to execute, and why it matters.

​

My mission is clear: Build complete, intelligent defensemen who outwork, outthink, and outperform the competition, athletes prepared for the next level because their habits, details, and mindset are Built Different.
