TESTIMONIALS

"Two of our sons have participated in Mickey's program the past couple of seasons which we believe has accelerated their hockey skill development.  The boys enjoy the fun, challenging, innovative, and competitive nature of the sessions which brings out the best of the players.  We would recommend the program to those parents and players interested in advancing their development."

Jim & Kate Kindrachuk

"Shawn (goalie) really enjoy your program as he always has lots of shots and fast pace and high tempo.  Your drills arent only about the players but also focus on goalies and thinking about them"

Ardy Wiranata

"We have four boys who have been attending Mickey's programs for the past few years.  The ice times are dynamic, fast paced and well run, and we have seen improvement with each child - we have both goalies and players in our home.  We would highly recommend Mickey's program to anyone who wants to prepare their child for the next level and move forward to elite level hockey."

Jill Cameron & Scott Anklewich

"Our son has been involved in summer, winter and spring sessions that MIckey has run.  These sessions provided an excellent opportunity to supplement the practice time provided by his community team.  Mickey a is very knowledgeable hockey coach, and our son has found a lot of value in working with Mickey.  In addition, the packages are very reasonable priced.  We would highly recommend Pinnacle Hockey Development (Mickey Kluner hockey programs)."

"Mickey's camps have realy improved by son's hockey skills.  Always good player to instructor ratio, each session offers good flow with little down periods and more importantly my son has fun learning and competing at the camps."

"Our son has participated in Mickey’s Winter & Spring morning programs the last two years and thoroughly enjoys coming to the rink for Mickey’s sessions.  As a parent, I feel the program offers great value with the on ice sessions being very well organized, creative, disciplined and fast paced.  I would highly recommend Pinnacle Hockey Development to anyone looking to improve their sons/daughters hockey skills in a fun and challenging environment."

Sean Sawchyn

"As parents of minor hockey players in Calgary we all know there is not enough ice-time in community hockey for players to acquire or practice many of the skills necessary to make noticeable improvement in a player's skill set or to satisfy their desire to play and have fun.  We joined one of Mickey's fall morning ice programs on the recommendation of a friend whose boys had done the program in previous years.  Our daughter has loved the program so much that she continued into through the winter and spring programs.  She has mastered new skills as a result of the instruction she has received, we have seen improvement in her game, and she has had fun.  We have, and will continue to, recommend the programs to our friends."

"We have two boys, ages 9 & 13.  Both have learned considerably from Coach Mickey.  Mickey brings energy and a consistenly high pace to his ice sessions.  Up tempo sessions in the early morning are no small achievement.  This would represent the "good" intensity, as it is coupled with a fun atmosphere.  Getting buy-in from diverse ages and skill sets is a marked strength of Mickey's.  We recommend Mickey's skill development sessions and look forward to continuing with the program."

Graeme & Charlene Smiley

"Our son has been attending Mickey’s hockey sessions for the past 3 years.  He has participated in both the early morning and conditioning camps.  Mickey’s training has both improved his individual and team skills but most importantly his confidence in his abilities and potential.   Mickey’s coaching style is very well received by both players and parents.  Mickey is professional, knowledgeable and a positive influence on these young hockey players. The lessons are fast-paced, and I am always impressed with the amount of time the players spend moving.  The players are encouraged to work hard in a fair, respectful and encouraging environment.   My son wakes up every morning at 5:45 to head to practice -- no complaining -- which to me speaks volumes about Mickey and his sessions!   I would highly recommend Pinnacle Hockey Development for any hockey player wanting to improve their game!"

Laurie & Jeff Aitchison

"Two of my sons have been working with Mickey in various camps for the last several years.  Mickey clearly runs one of the best skills sessions in Calgary.  Mickey’s attention to detail always leads to a fast paced and well organized skate.  My kid’s skills have improved immensely due to their time with Mickey."

John Lavorato

"The Pinnacle spring hockey camp is a fast paced camp with highly skilled players.  The coaches work hard to elevate players performance, and the kids really enjoy the challenge and camaraderie on and off the ice.  We would highly recommend attendance at this camp to extend the hockey season and enhance existing skills"

Kelley Smith

"As a goalie, our son thoroughly enjoys the Pinnacle program.  The drills that are run by the coaching staff are always fast paced and keep the goalies active.  The practice run by Mickey and his staff are the best practices our son has ever been apart of.  We recommend the Pinnacle program to many of our friends as we beleive it offers great development opportunities."

Jennifer & Ryan Berry

"Mickey's preparedness, discipline and enthusiasm for the sport is beyond reproach and has this coaching veteran looking to implement some of Mickey's teachings within my sport."
