Dear Pete Fry and Puckmasters,
I want to thank you for providing me with a new outlook on hockey. Because of my Puckmasters training, for the first time in my life I didn't just play hockey. Instead, I believed in the game and myself as a goalie.
I still remember back in 1994 training throughout the summer at Puckmasters, working hard to get every detail of my game right. That training gave me the confidence to go to Boston's training camp with the attitude I wasn't coming back; I WAS GOING TO PLAY IN THE NHL!
When I got to Boston's camp there were 65 other players there. I was the only one without my name on the back of my jersey, and six NHL goalies were present, four of whom had million dollar contracts. For me though it was living off of steak & cheese subs because I barely had enough money to eat. Long story short, me, the guy with no name on his jersey and not enough money to eat, earned a contract with the Boston Bruins! I WAS GOING TO PLAY IN THE NHL!!!
It was Pete Fry and Puckmasters that taught me to believe I was great. From the moment I first walked in the door, I was "The Great" Robb Tallas, and it was clear everyone involved in Puckmasters really cared about giving me the tools I needed to succeed. The unique Puckmasters training methods along with the attitudes and dedication of the Personal Coaches is how Puckmasters goes beyond any other hockey school or training in the world! Everyone who's involved in Puckmasters knows this and believes in it, and you can't imagine as a goalie how it feels to know you have The Great Puckmasters team helping you. I know it carried me a long way!
I'm now 30 years old. I've played ten years professionally in North America, five of those years in the NHL. I'm currently playing in Finland in the top-rated professional division in all of Europe. If I hadn't spent that summer at Puckmasters, and subsequently continued training at Puckmasters, I know for a fact I would never have made it as a hockey player with the career I now have.
All the best,
"The Great" Robbie Tallas,
NHL Boston Bruins
