Minnesota Advancement Program

I just wanted to thank you for your work with Laura this summer and allowing her to play this fall. I think skating all fall really challenged her and helped get her get ready for tryouts.  She played better than I've ever seen her play all 3 nights and made the 14A team... Her improvements since the end of last season did not go unnoticed by other parents at tryouts so hopefully there will be more girls looking into joining MAP too. Thanks again. Amy Stehler

I Just wanted to drop you a note and THANK YOU for the work that you guys did with Kylie this summer. Your program was awesome in every which way.
The biggest "kudos" I can give both you and "Z" is that you guys never let the girls suffer from low expectations and you helped instill confidence in these girls. I truly believe that what you did with these girls will go way beyond the hockey rink - and quite frankly, this is much more important. Hope to see you next Summer!!  Derek Gullett

You connect well, motivate well and teach the girls so much. Maya loves coming and training @ MAP and it's in large part to you and the rest of the staff. She is looking forward to training with you again after the HS season. Thanks again, Matt

Janie made the V-squad tonight for Edina! The fam is so psyched. Thanks to you and Z for all of your help!!! Lisa Thotland

Thank you so much for training me throughout the off season. Tryouts ended and I made the varsity team... I could not of made the team without your help and Z's. I cannot wait for srping time when MAP starts up again!!! Thanks, Izzy Gleekel

I would just like to thank you wholeheartedly for everything you and everyone at MAP did for me for the pase eight months. I learned so much, and feel that I truly became a better hockey player, mentally and physically!... SO again, I would just like to show my appreciation for everything, from helping me out with the simple things to explaining the difficult things and never giving up on me. MAP is BY FAR the best program I have ever participated in and I am so excited to come back after this hockey season! Thank you!

Thank you for all of your work with Ellen these past several months. She went into FHIT with some anxiety but ended up loving it. She's noticeably stronger and, best of all, has learned the value of being strong and in shape, a fitness lesson that she will carry with her for life. I also think her skating and stickhandling have improved, two things she really needed. And non of these gains would have happened without the offorts on both you and the entire MAP/FHIT program. I'm not sure you can get enough thanks based on the number of hours you've put in since March, but I just wanted you both to know that we really appreciate it and that we're looking forward to next year.Thanks again for everything. Charlie Rethwisch

I wanted to say thanks for spending some 1:1 time with Mac last night. I know that's not easy to dedicate that much time with other players on the ice too. None of Mac's youth hockey coaches had ever explained most of the things that you were sharing with her last night. I know she'll practice and retain it all. Dave Johnson

Morgan made the 12UA team! Thank you we are so proud of her. Thank you for a great summer of skills, we will see you next summer! Amy Brettingen

I made the A team for Bloomington girls hockey u12! Thanks for all your help over the summer with the quick starts, the one on ones, EVO, and letting me play up with the 201's. That helped a lot strength wise and mentally. I hope to see you soon. Kristin Sako

I just wanted to say thank you for everything! FHIT has been so fun and I have learned so much. You are a great coach and friend and I appreciate everything you have done for me :) You have taught me so mych from being a good hockey player to being a good person. You've given me the confidence I need going into college. I can't thank you enough for everything. stay, in touch, Muss Brandt

I just wanted to thank you for everything you have done this summer to help me. You helped getting coaches to come watch me skate at practices or games. You gave me a lot of motivation to work hard this summer. I know I don't have it made, and it's a tough team to make, but I know I worked my hardest this summer and I just wanted to thank you for the assistance through this process. Drude

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! See Ya Soon, Megan Lushanko
