There a many former NHL'ers including Dick Tarnstrom on the roster,not to mention some potential future NHL'ers!

I would like to personnally thank Kaj Reisterer,Anders Gozzi,Roger Melin and Rickard Franzen for their continued support over the last 4 years!

See you guys in November!

Tim Turk and Danijela Rundqvist

Tim Turk posing with Danijela(a.k.a.Danni)Rundqvist in the locker room prior to working a skills session.

In my opinion Danni is one of the top women hockey players in the world. Always trying to improve. She will be competing for gold at this years olympics in Vancouver representing her home country of Sweden.

I have worked with Danni and some of her National teammates while in Sweden.

AIK is their club team which I have been working with for the last 4 years.(from the 97's to the mens and womens PRO teams)

Good Luck Danni! Looks like you will have to try and steal the gold from Canada! see you in Vancouver!

your friend, Tim

Tim Turk Paying Attention Too!

Tim Turk visits and works with minor hockey teams and players all over the world!
"If you do not pay attention and focus,how do you become a pro?" Tim Turk tries to instill that trait every where and everytime he is on the ice. The coaches love that too! A great Picture at the Bell Center...Everyone focused and paying attention,even me!

Rocky is a former Maple Leaf and now makes his home in Chicago. Looks like Adam will be one of his "go to" guys for this years spring travel team.
Keep up the great work Adam!!

Is your stick the correct "LIE" for you?

Andrew Conboy has just signed with Montreal and will start playing with the Bulldogs in Hamilton. Here we are checking out his blade wear patterns to detect any required adjustments to his stick configuration. Congrats Conny, see you soon in Hamilton!

The tape tells the tale. . .
After using your stick for a practice or two, and prior to re-taping, take a look a the bottom of your blade. Your tape should be well worn and maybe even gone from certian areas. For example, the tape should be worn from the middle to the toe of the blade, indicating your stick has the correct "LIE" (the angle the shaft ascends from the blade) and the correct height. If the tape is worn in other areas, such as just the toe area or just the heel area...you need to CALL ME ASAP!!

Helpful hints when looking for puck consistencies

Olivier Fortier (Montreal's 3rd round 65th overall pick in the 2007 draft) and I check for puck consistencies prior to making adjustments enabling him to release the puck quicker for more positive results — like GOALS for instance!

After fine tuning and introducing new techniques, it's time to look for puck consistencies. I have players use white tape on the blade, allowing the puck to make impact marks and shooting lines along the blade. This reveals where the puck makes contact, and is released from, during control and shooting situations.

How to Analyze Puck Consistencies on the Blade

Never bet Tim Turk! unless you want to lose!

A 100 dollar bill...from Lawsy to me!! for losing a bet during our last years elite PRO summer camp.
Always pick the SHOOTERS Lawsy...Not the Skaters! It was all in good fun, I hope to see everyone again next summer!

Last Summer's Elite PRO camp!

And what a camp it was!!! Paul Lawson(Habs technical Skating coach) and I put on an Elite camp, word of mouth brought out...P.K.Subban(2 time Team Canada Gold Medlist),Kent Huskins(Stanley Cup Winner,Anahiem)Guy and Olivier Latendresse, Kyle Chipchura,Ryan White,Greg Stewart...just to name a few...Word is...Next summer is going to be more SICK than last! Contact us if you would like to attend.

What its like being an NHL skills coach!

Here I am working with the Hamilton BullDogs, the American Hockey League affiliate of the Montreral Canadiens. You want to talk about focus? These guys are focused! Thats Dagostini in the background...Just called up to the Habs, his work ethic and quick release will keep him there for a while! Great Job Dags!!
