Get To KNow Nick
My hockey career took me through 5 years in the CHL (Guelph Storm, St. John Sea Dogs), 4 Years at Acadia University, and 2 Professional seasons in the ECHL with the Fort Wayne Comets and Reading Royals.
That path, competing at every level from junior to pro, gave me a first hand understanding of what it takes to develop as an athlete, and it’s the foundation that everything I do as a coach is built on.
I’ve now spent 15 years training and 3 years coaching, working with everyone from youth to NHL and other professional athletes.

Nick’s Mission
My goal is to program based on the demands of the sport and the needs of the individual athlete in front of me - not a one size fits all template. I aim to continuously bring the best out of each athlete, both in their sport and in the discipline and work ethic that carries beyond it. Having competed at the pro level myself, I offer mentorship toward reaching the top, not just strength and conditioning.
