Testimonial

I believe that there was some really good team building that also came from your training which compliments the main premise of the kids being there at all.

I will be bringing my own kids in for some evaluation and follow up sessions and I truly hope that our 95's will be back a few more times as they are doing pretty well now as a team and to help them in this very important area within the game even more will provide us more positive outcomes along the course of the season to come.

Thanks to you and your helpful business associates, your continued passion and committment to excellence within these areas of the sport will promote better results for those of us who dare try your system.

"It's a love fest down this way for Powertech Hockey....I say without a word of a lie the fitness level of Liam, Shane and Dewy at tryouts this past weekend was evident in no small manor. Thanks for always having Liam in mind and will see you again soon without a doubt. PS the treadmill was a love-hate relationship with the boys......LOL"

Training Improvement Stories - Kyle Shaw

"I have always enjoyed training with Andy because every time you step on the ice there is a new challenge. Andy has drastically improved my skating and puck handling abilities. The training I have had from him in the past years has been so valuable because Andy is totally focused on helping you get to the next level. He has been an inspiration and a great mentor."

Kyle Shaw - Drafted to Sudbury Wolves in OHL 09 Draft

"If top skill development is what you’re looking for, I would recommend regular training sessions with Andy Paquette. He has a unique ability to get the most out of every hockey player with on-ice sessions and off-ice programs at PowerTech. My son, Kyle, has been training with Andy for over 7 years and it has adding amazing skill and speed to his game. Andy has been a great role model because he mentors the players to achieve their best, to focus on the goal and follow through with the right attitude and mindset, so when Kyle was drafted by the Sudbury Wolves in the OHL 09 entry draft, we feel that this was especially helped by the training and development from Andy Paquette and his team at PowerTech Hockey Group."

Training Improvement Stories - Matthew

"Matthew first participated in a team day for Next testing. After discussing the results with Andy we decided to begin training with Powertech to help improve on the skills highlighted in the testing. To be honest, I was amazed by the results.With about 8 weeks of training and a lot of hard work Matthew improved his score almost 200 points in his second test session. These were tangible, measurable improvements. Clearly this program allows you to highlight your weaknesses, design a program to improve and validate the results. What's better is that Matthew can see the results of his hard work and can see and understand what he needs to do to reach his goals. Andy, Mark and Stewart have truly focused and motivated him to improve. It has translated into more stamina and endurance, more speed and more confidence.  I truly recommend this approach... training with feedback!
We are thrilled with the results."

PowerTech Interview Published in THE DRIVE Magazine

"There’s no guesswork now for coaching staffs,” he says. “The data tells us where players stand and what kinds of skating elements they need to work on. Kids can see for themselves what needs to be done." To read the full article and for more information about PowerTech, click here to read the PDF.
