"What I like about Build Your Game is that it builds your skills up as well as your strength. Players really benefit from the one-on-one training, especially on their hands and shot. The shooting and stickhandling repetitions, the personal attention, and the wide variety of strength building exercises that Build Your Game uses makes this training program a great way to spend your off-season. I would recommend it to any players looking to move on past high school."

"I get a great sweat going when I’m at Build Your Game’s off-ice training site. It’s fun to go through exercises that you wouldn’t normally see at other training programs. The higher levels of hockey demand intense training to stay ahead of the competition and I believe Build Your Game offers just that. "

"Best money we've spent on a hockey program! Build Your Game is the first hockey camp where I really saw a significant improvement in the performance of my son's game. Nick's shooting and stick-handling skills were the most dramatically improved. I believe Build Your Game is so successful because Dave is such a good instructor. He works in small groups with the players and is very good at observing the strengths and weakness of each individual, and tailoring instruction accordingly. In my opinion, this is why Build Your Game is so effective, and other programs are not. My son and I are really looking forward to an even better 2009, with the improvements and upgrades for this year's program!"

"I liked that we worked very intensely on hand skills and shooting. I've played both Junior A and D3 college hockey and I can tell you that your hands and shot really need to be sharp to succeed at those levels. I think Build Your Game is a great place to get your hands and shot ready for the next level."

"My son, Sam, has been working with Dave for 3 years. After the first summer working with Build Your Game Sam moved up to being a starter on Varsity. The following year he finished 28th in scoring in his conference, and this year he was 5th in scoring in the state prior to a season ending injury. I like that Dave works the kids hard. He connects with the kids and talks to them on a level that they can relate to. That’s why they make so much progress. Sam loves it and always wants to go back. Previously, Sam had worked with Acceleration Minnesota. He hated it and I was not happy with the cost of the program. The money I spend with Build Your Game is much better spent. It’s the best value in hockey training I’ve ever come across. If you want the best, you're here."
