FHIT Testimonials

Hi PJ. My son Michael Hennes is playing the best hockey of his life. I wanted to thank you for your help with his development. Hope all is well, Dan !

Dear FHIT Staff,
I just wanted to let you know what a great job you did with the private lessons he gave my son this spring/summer.  We live up in Virginia MN and only have ice during the winter and one month in June.  During the June ice we had 6 private lesson with Aaron to help improve my son's skating technique and work on defensive strategies.  Justice felt Aaron really knew how motivate and push him while making his session lots of fun.  After the ice went out we were on to summer stuff and football in the fall.  It has just been since the end of October where we really were able to see the change in Justice's skating and playing.  His skating and play have improved so much I can't believe it.  He was a pee wee B last year and our association was only able to have one bantam team this year which is playing at the A level.  We were really concerned he wouldn't see much play time.  So far he has had an unbelievable amount of ice time and even started in his last game.  He is having so much fun.  I just can't thank you enough for offering the private lessons.  I know that breaking him of some bad habits and improving his technique has made a huge difference.  He doesn't even look like the same skater. 
Sincerely,
Sarah Chaffee

Corbin,

Once again thank you for all the work you and the staff at the north campus have done with Devin Zaloski this year. He has improved more this summer than from any other program he has attended. Devin likes the on ice sessions, and he really likes the EVO. It is refreshing to have a program that treats the players like young men, and not children...

After much descussion, he decided to give up his second year of Peewee hockey to play Bantam instead.... After playing just one year of Peewee, he needed to step up to play Bantam, and i credit the MAP Tier 1 program for pushing him to reach his potential.

Devin lookd forward to training at FHIT this winter, and at MAP in 2012.

Thanks,
Andrew Zaloski

 

Hi PJ,
I just wanted to let you know my son had a fantastic time and really enjoyed Geno coaching and the whole experience was just great. I look forward to him working with yourself and others at MAP next year again. He said you really push him and I love to hear it. I know his game has come a long ways with the help of ALL the staff at MAP... THANK YOU,
Brad Kaehler

Hey Howie,
 
Thanks for inviting Matt out to the game against the Blades the other night.  He'll be there today for the Combine.  Just an FYI, I think you know he's on the Elite Prep Team NW.  I think part of him making the team was what you guys do there at Fhit.  So thanks for all you do to help him reach his goals.
 
I remember when we signed up and Bergie asked him if he wanted to be a Dr.? Matt's response was "what a Doctor"......?  Bergie said you have to put in a lot of work to become a Dr. of Hockey.  Be here 4 days a week, work hard, measure your results, etc.   He enjoys working out there and getting better.  He was especially happy with his off ice measurements 6 months later. He's the leading scorer for the Elite Prep League. I know he feels what he does there has made him stronger and faster.
 
Thanks again!

Hi Howie,

A quick note to let you know that Cory Lushanko qualified for the State Track and Field meet at Hamline University on June 10th & 11th in the 100m and 200m dash.  He set a school record in the 100m dash with a time of 11.03.  Cory has given a lot of credit to the MAP program with all the EVO he has done there and at home with his brothers and sister. 

Thanks,
Chris and Jami Lushanko

 

The couple of people that have been negative about the program are the same parents/players that are blaming everybody else for being demoted to either 3rd or 4th line this year.  If the player is not willing to work hard and the parents are not willing to hold them accountable, I don't know what yours or any other program could possibly do.  I tell every parent that I talk to about the MAP program that unless their child is dedicated and the parents are supportive and hold them accountable it will be a waste of money to join.  However, if they meet these qualifications it will provide their child a great experience both on and off the ice (not to mention the visibility you provide to play hockey after high school).

Hi Stacy and Z,

Thanks so much for your help and time with us girls on the ice, i have noticed much improvement in myself from all your help at MAP and the small area games have helped me improve a lot as well.  I love the MAP Program and i enjoy coming as much as i can! You guys are awesome and we always have a good time on the ice! Evo has also gotten me a lot stronger, i will continue doing that this summer as well.   Also, Thanks for noticing my strengths and weaknesses, it's very helpful!

 Thanks Again!
