Dear Puckmasters,
I would just like to take this time to thank you for all your great help over the years. Your team at Puckmasters have been a huge help to me over the years. When I first attended Puckmasters at age nine, I was just a young cocky hockey player who thought everything would come to me with no effort at all. Because of the awesome training at Puckmasters, not only the on ice but the visualization, motivation and goal setting techniques your team has taught me I have been able to elevate my game significantly.
The success does not just stop on the ice, but the training has taught me to be motivated and goal oriented in all areas of my life. Now at age 16, I am still using all of these techniques on a daily basis. Before each game and practice I visualize what I want to be doing on the ice, and let me tell you one thing! It definitely helped me out big time. It helped me get to where I am today.
This past summer many events were the most important in my life to date. I made it to the U-17 BC Best Ever provincial camp to have a try out for Team Pacific. Although I was the last cut from the team, I walked away owned by the Swift Current Broncos of the WHL — meaning I had been added to their 50 player protected list. Thus, I would be attending their training camp in August. In training camp, I used the various techniques that Pete and his team had taught me over the years.
As a 16 year old it is very difficult to crack a spot on a WHL roster, but I did just that! Not until it was all ended by a serious leg injury, which brought me back home to play one year of junior back home. However, out of all this I earned myself one year of post secondary education, all for just signing one simple WHL contract.
Because of Puckmasters, all areas of my game have improved (shooting especially) but from going to a cocky nine year old, to a motivated, hardworking, and goal oriented 16 year old is something I am very proud of. I have changed to become a better hockey player, but even more a better person. Thanks Puckmasters for everything!
Sincerely,
Brady Leavold; Norfolk Admirals - American Hockey League
