“My son had a really positive experience at Lakeside. Skill-based, hands on attention in a small group setting. He had a blast, so we signed up again and can’t wait.”

“What an incredible experience to have training with Lakeside Hockey! My son thoroughly enjoyed being on the ice with Joe and Sam. The training is intense with skating, stick handling and understanding the game of hockey. However, it’s the passion you see from Joe that really motivates the kids. You can tell he loves hockey, but also he loves teaching the kids! The encouragement and camaraderie that Joe brings to the ice really makes it a special experience. The only complaint my son had was that it wasn’t longer! We look forward to another week of hockey camp this summer!”

“Joe is not only an amazing person, but an amazing coach! We have known Joe for 5+ years. He coached my son's team for many years and helped bring home many gold trophies. Joe has done nothing but help improve and encourage our New Trier Hockey player to be the best he can be, on and off the ice. Joe sees the potential in each and every player he is with. He brings out the best in everything they do. His love for hockey is clear when he is the ice encouraging others to love the sport just as much as he does. He really knows how to motivate, encourage and push your child to their limits without discouraging them to give up because the limits are set high. He sees the potential in every player and brings out the very best of their abilities. I have personally seen him turn weak skaters into strong ones. I have also seen him turn timid players into confident players. We would not be where we are today (Fall 2023 NT JV player as a freshman and Spring 2023 NT Varsity White as a freshman) without Coach Joe! Thanks for everything, Coach.”

“One of Joe's many talents is the ability to quickly identify what skills your player needs to work on and then selecting drills that will help them not only see results quickly, but results that will last. We have two players four years apart and both have not only experienced a higher level of play, but a deeper passion for the game itself.”
