Hey
Brian, hope everything is going well with
the new location! I just wanted to thank
you for helping me out so much those first
two years, all of the coaching is really
paying off right now. My team is 4-0-1 and
in those 5 games only 8 goals have been
scored against us(2 shutouts so far)! Just
wanted to say thanks for helping me out
so much in those begginning times. Good
luck with everything......

As
far as the lessons are concerned, Brian
is unbelievable stressing the basics and
offering a very hard workout. I watch him
and wonder how the heck did anyone score
on this guy. As far as my progress, I am
much better, but The Legends have nothing
to worry about.
If you have kids and they want to play
hockey, this is by far the best experience
they will ever have.

I
just want you to know I am very impressed
with the training my son Patrick is getting
from you and your staff. I have seen real
improvement in his fundamentals this year.
Your program is money well spent and I recommend
it to every parent of a goalie that I know.
Thanks

help.
Thank You

Hi
Brian,
David is loving having you run skills
over at CDL! He is a freshman at Archie's
and on the football team. Wednesdays I pick
him up after football and hope we have no
traffic,so we can make to skills on time.
So far so good! Yesterday on are way he
told me how he wished goalie skills were
everyday like Football. I asked him why
and he said they work us hard and I have
fun. He also brought home his first progress
report and I must say I was very happy!
He is in seven Honors classes and he has
all A's! I am so happy about your A and
B board, because school comes first! I must
add that along with A's and B,s comes effort
, so when those lower grades come if there
is a good effort comment that is huge! My
boys have always been told you try hard
and do well in school you can play Hockey!
I guess he really loves being a goalie!
Thanks for making such a positive impact
on my son!
Sincerely,
Heidi |

Look
forward to getting back with MassCrease.
We loved the DVD that Brian put together.
Jack has been appreciating the unsolicited
parental comments/advice ("square up,
"don't get jumpy", etc.), to which
he says we don't know what we're talking
about. But we do. We have the DVD.
The DVD is, as advertised, extremely helpful.
Best regards,
Erik |

Let me say again how impressed I am with
your camps. Joe had a lot of fun. It was
well worth the travel to see a whole sheet
of ice filled with nothing but Goalies.
You run a very fun, educational and structured
camp. I also think it is great for the goalies
to see such skilled goalies. The way all
the instructors stick handle so well is
great for the kids to see and look up to.
So many goalies think they can't/don't have
to handle the puck.
Thanks again. You've done a great job going
on your own.

Hey
Brian I want to thank you and your staff
for a great week of camp.! I feel that Mason
has learned alot and will bring it with
him to the( 02 ) South Shore Kings this
season. He may not realize it today but
when he does get out there he will have
the knowledge and game plan to execute the
saves.
Thanks again Dale and Mason |

Hi
Brian,
Just wanted to say that Marc and Eric both
had a great week at the Game Day camp. It's
confirmed Marc's inclination to go full time
in net eventually. I really noticed the difference
in his movement around the crease at 3 on
3 Friday night. Of course, Eric just loves
working out with you guys. We also appreciate
the time you took with Tove discussing the
kids' development, we really agonized over
some of those decisions.
Thanks again, and Eric is really looking
forward to next week.

Kelly
has been exposed to a couple of other respected
goalie coaches this year (you'd know the
names), but she has enjoyed working with
you the best. We will continue participating
in whatever clinics you set up in our area
in the years ahead. Thanks for your efforts.

Many thanks to you, Jen and Lenny for the
outstanding job with our program's goaltenders
this past season. The attendance form our
young goalies was amazing and the compliments
I have received on the great improvement and
excitement you have created for our young
players has been nothing less than terrific!
Thanks to you, we have eager goalies that
go home and practice stretching, stick fundamentals
and positioning as they relay to their parents
and siblings all that they have learned in
the skills sessions - they are more excited
about goalie skills than playing in the games!
We look forward to continuing the the kids'
development next season and appreciate all
that you have done to support our youth hockey
program.
Best Regards

Hi
Brian,
Just wanted to let you know that Erik's
high school team won their 1A Division and
semifinal round and will now be heading
to the championship game this weekend. His
success is due in part to the teaching and
guidance that you have given him since he
decided to step into this position.
Thanks,
Devon |
|
| Brian,
Thanks for
everything... I am so glad that Camryn has
someone like you (and Lenny) to help her
become the best goalie she can be!
Nicole |
|
| Brian,
I do want you to know that Owen is really
really enjoying your skills. I have to say
that I have not seen him enjoy or be so
enthusiastic about a practice/skills as
he is on Sunday nights. It is really nice
to see .... so thank you! |
|
| Brian,
I can't believe
what you were able to pull out of Mason
in just one hour!!! He learned more last
night than he has all season.
Thank you. |
|
| Brian,
I am so glad that we connected with you
and your team of goalie coaches early on
as it is amazing how much Brendan has learned
from the skills and camps he has attended.
. . . It is great watching him incorporate
these techniques into his game.
Kevin |
|
| Brian,
Thanks for
this past session. Even though Grayson was
often tired by 8:30, he never wanted to
miss his lessons. That says a lot. See you
in a few.

|
| Hi
Brian,
Just wanted to send a simple thank you
for all you and Lenny are doing in the skills
for the goalies. I coach Jack in Dedham
hockey and have noticed a difference in
Jack's ability and confidence between the
pipes.
Thank you! |
|
| Brian,
Just wanted to pass along the very positive
feedback from parents and goalie alike.
Our son Jack (9 years old) recently had
4 out 5 private lessons with Lenny, and
he thoroughly enjoyed it. Jack described
the lessons as "awesome" and "fun".
(he is a succinct interview.)
We have completed a number of goalie sessions
with your program to date (mini-camp, summer
weekly, private lessons), and we have been
very impressed by the high quality of the
coaches, who have been both enthusiastic
and challenging (a great combination).
We look forward to future sessions.
Best regards,
Erik |

| Guys,
Just wanted to reach out and thank-you
for the great time that Bethany had at camp.
She improved her game, met new friends and
had a great time. She’s still talking
about it and has already started bugging
me about going next year!
See you when the season starts. |
|
| You
obviously have a passion for what you do and
take the time to think about how to impart
your vast knowledge to a 9 year old! I realize
how technical the position has become and
appreciate you laying a great foundation for
the future. We're excited about continuing
to work with you and Lenny next winter at
the Global skills sessions.

Hi
Brian,
I cannot tell you enough the positive
impact that you and your staff have had
on my son's development and the development
of the many goalies in the NYH system. Your
approach is head and shoulders above the
other programs in our area. Keep up the
good work! |
|
Hi
Brian,
I just wanted to drop you a note and tell
you that David had a great time at your
camp last week. Each night He would tell
my wife and I about all the fun he had with
Yourself,Lenny and the guys from the Walpole
Express. I was able to watch him for a few
minutes each morning and I will say that
I am very impressed with you program and
the improvements David made during the week.
At this point I am waiting to see what his
teams schedule is so that I can sign him
up for one of your skill sessions. Personally
I would love to see Braintree Youth Hockey
sign on with your program.
Thank you again. |

Johnny is just LOVING the Sunday sessions with Brain Eklund! He loves that
Brian wears his pads and he can see how
to do the moves. (I guess not all his goalie
coaches have done that!) And, he hopes to
one day be as “smooth” as Brian.
Thanks. He is quite a find!

Hi
Brian,
My name is Kelly Sinkiewicz and I just
wanted to let you know how very much my
daughter Lydia enjoys taking your clinics.
She was fortunate enough to attend you camp
back in August in Walpole for a week. She
came home each night with great stories.
Although she is only 6yrs old her Dad and
I know she will only get better with time.
Like you said, school comes first and then
hockey. We are very fortunate that she does
well in school and feel that the skills
she is also learning in hockey will continue
to guide her in her life. Thanks again for
being such a positive factor in her life
and we look forward to working with you
for a long time to come!!!!
Best Regards,
Kelly Sinkiewicz |
