Hi Shane,
Just wanted to thank you and your staff for a great lax camp this summer. I just finished my first tryout in the NLL and my game has improved so much. I actually used that stutter step move and ripped a great goal! I will keep you updated this season.

Thanks again,

Parent:
- son played house league hockey his whole life - signed up for our Private Lesson Program and made AA/AAA the following year - this guy works his tail off and knows the meaning of hard work.

Hello Shane,

I have mentioned this before and I mention it to anyone who asks about Alexander's game:

Alexander is where he is now with hockey due to your hard work with him, both on and off the ice. I can't thank you enough for developing Alexander which also includes his character and confidence building. It is our intention to carry-on his training with you as he is only going to get better and stronger with time. I am very proud to be associated with you and his success is validation of your program and dedication. Th ank you for allowing Alexander to achieve his dreams.

Parent:
- daughter is involved with many programs including; on-ice private lessons, off-ice private lessons, group sessions and a junior instructor with Top Draft - one of our favourite clients.

Just wanted to thank you for your efforts - Sabina is starting to develop a lot more confidence - as a result, she seems more determined than ever to work hard this summer. She has told me numerous times that, even though its hard work, she feels good about it, believes she is improving, and really likes having you as a trainer.

Her play has really improved in the last little while - she is much more confident with the puck - making quick turns to avoid forecheckers, holding onto the puck until she finds the open forward, etc. She tells me she is feeling much more confident, not nearly as afraid to make mistakes, and wanting to handle the puck more. It seems the coaches have confidence in her as well - she is out for most of the penalty kill and power play and the last couple of minutes of the close games.

Parent:
- son is involved with a group power skating clinic and a private lesson program - this is an email he sent to another hockey parent.

He ( Shane Sullivan) is by far the best coach/ instructor I have met and believe me I have gone to many hockey camps. Seeing him work I think he specializes in students that are a little lacking in attention and confidence - very motivational in a good way!

Player:
- currently playing in the Professional Inline Hockey Association. A terrific ice and floor player who participated in our 2008 San Diego Inline Camp

Hey Shane,
I learned a lot last week and wanted to thank you for the time you spent with me. It was a great camp and your expertise were the best approach I have ever seen in an inline program - you should still be playing, man! Thanks for everything and thanks for letting me help out with the younger players, it was so much fun.

Player:
- has been involved with Shane Sullivan's training programs for many years. A product of TDSM's on-ice private lesson program and off-ice weight training program, this guy is the epitome of intelligence and hard work. He is a warrior every shift and is never satisfied with mediocrity. We are very confident that this young man will add another testimonial upon making AAA next season.

With the excellent on-ice coaching and the off-ice strength and conditioning program, I have been able to greatly improve my game in the hopes of making it to the highest level. Without TDSM, this would not have been possible.

Thank you,

Ethan

Parent:
- son is a Junior A player in the USHL. Participated in the Junior Prospects Camp in the summer of 08. A terrific young talent who will grab the attention of many NCAA recruiters this year.

We participated in the summer prospects camp three weeks ago and were blown away by your teaching and communication skills with the players. Our son came back to the hotel each night with very positive feedback on your teaching style. I have passed your name and contact info on to all of his teammates and will definitely sign Jordan up for your program next year.

Thanks Shane,

Steven
