Coach’s Corner

Nick is a great teammate and highly coachable. He has shown the ability to be an offensive force. Nick possesses a great shot and hockey sense. I feel he can bring more consistent intensity in practice and games. Nick has the ability to be a dominant player at this level. I feel with his skill level and hockey IQ that he can raise his game up a level and be the best player on the ice.
