"Ryan Schmidt is a dedicated youth hockey development coach. Our family was introduced to him as a squirt coach for our daughter at the squirt travel level. He did a spectacular job throughout the season. He has a compassionate approach to coaching hockey. Our daughter developed at a surprisingly accelerated rate. We then decided to hire him for developing on a private level. He was able to bring our squirt A level daughter to a successful level for tryouts of the AAA Team Carolina Pee Wee Team in 8 short weeks. This is the team she plays for currently. Our son also trains with him, working toward a goal of playing Tier 1 Juniors. His combined training for both on and off ice as well as his recommended “at home” training is the reason for both of our players successes. Our son plays for a Tier 1 Bantam Minor team and has been invited to play in several high level tournaments. He has been asked to try out for a USHL Junior Tier 1 futures selection and has also been invited to travel abroad to play in world tournaments. Ryan’s training is far superior to anything we have seen as a family. Our children think very highly of him, he makes the process successful through first developing a relationship with the children and combining that with superior training. For high level development as an athlete and overall progression of being a good standing individual in the community, Ryan Schmidt is the coach for that."
