I highly recommend Ryan Hand of Handmade Hockey! While visiting, our son had the opportunity to take four sessions with him, and it was a fantastic experience. Our son not only had a blast but also picked up some valuable tips and techniques. If you're looking for a personalized, effective, and fun hockey coaching experience, Ryan is your guy!

Working with Handmade hockey has tremendously help shape the player I am today. Working with Ryan over the years has really helped my game, especially in stick details and small area skills. The skills that I’ve learned from Ryan are some of the most important and underrated skills that a player can have. Being able to have these skills and apply them to my game has helped me immensely.

Ryan Hand has worked with me the past 2 summers on making my shot be more powerful, quicker and accurate. He’s always pushing me to make my stick-handling and passing better and to be smarter and more efficient on the ice offensively and defensively.
Tommy Freel - University of Maine Blackbears NCAA Division 1
For nearly 5 years now I’ve had the privilege of being coached, trained and employed by Ryan Hand. As a coach, Ryan was always a positive and supportive figure. Using his knowledge and skill set from years playing pro hockey, Ryan was able to add a new insight to the game, one that I had previously not had at the junior level. Ryan’s wide knowledge of drills helped me improve my shooting in stride and making deceptive moves at high speeds. I’ve been very lucky to have met Ryan in the hockey world, and hope to continue working with him to reach my full potential.
