"Giancarlo, I wanted to thank you and your amazing staff for your hard work and dedication to the growth of my sons skating development. Peter skating has improved so much with only one week at your hockey camp. Peter is happy to be apart of your school. Keep up the great work" - Mario Cortese
"The training offered through Slap Shot Hockey School has been instrumental in both my sons skills development. To date, my boys have attended several camps including the Christmas, March Break, and Summer Camp sessions as well as several semi-private lessons. I appreciate the small ratios and the way they tailor the training to different age groups and abilities. Giancarlo and his trainers take the time to teach, explain, demonstrate, and train while constantly maintaining a positive environment. My son was also fortunate to be able to train with Slap Shot Hockey School through his select team Spring Program. We’ve seen great improvements in his hockey skills including shot strength, accuracy, skating, and game play. I would highly recommend Slap Shot Hockey School to anyone with hockey playing children who have an interest in taking their hockey skills to the next level. Many thanks to Giancarlo for making this program available to the boys!" - Diana Gulizia
"My son has attended March Break and Summer training program with Slap Shot Hockey School. I have seen an improvement in my sons skating, agility and stick handling ability after each of these sessions. I appreciate the way Giancarlo takes the time to stop my son during drills and explain and show my him what he is doing incorrectly to correct his mistake. It takes more time to do this, and I truly appreciate this and thank Giancarlo for it. I will definitely be putting my son back in Slap Shot Hockey School in the next session. Thank you Giancarlo!" - Lisa Taylor
