“Working with Adam has been a game-changer for my son’s development both on and off the ice. As a hockey skills coach, he brings a unique combination of technical expertise, personalized instruction, and an infectious passion for the game. Every session is thoughtfully designed to target specific areas—from edge work and puck control to game IQ and situational awareness. What truly sets Adam apart is their role as a mentor. He just doesn’t just focus on the physical side of the game; he emphasizes mindset, discipline, and leadership. He takes time to understand each player’s goals and challenges, offering encouragement while pushing them beyond their comfort zone. We’ve seen tremendous growth in my son’s confidence, skills, and overall understanding of the game. We can’t recommend Adam highly enough to any player serious about taking their hockey journey to the next level.”
“Our kids have been training with Coach Adam since August 2024, and the progress they’ve made has been remarkable. One of the most noticeable improvements has been in their shooting — they went from struggling to generate power to consistently firing rockets. Coach Adam is straightforward, professional, and has an intuitive ability to know what the players he works with need. He customizes each private skills session to target exactly what our boys want to work on. It’s been really exciting to see the specific skills he works on with them show up in real game situations. They played Tier 1 U11 last season and are now working hard toward making U11AA and U13AA teams. Coach Adam’s guidance has played a big role in building their confidence, sharpening their skills, and helping them take meaningful steps toward those goals. We highly recommend Manah’s Hockey Development to any player looking to elevate their game.”
“I first reached out to Adam after my son had a discouraging year with his winter team and he felt quite defeated. I wanted to help rekindle his passion for hockey and thought focused one on one sessions would be the most beneficial. From the very first session I knew that I had made the right choice for my son. Adam is extremely knowledgeable and focuses on effective, key drills while maximizing the allocated ice time. You can tell Adam has a passion for what he is doing and knows how to adjust his interactions based on who he is coaching to get the most drive out of them. My son told me “He is a good coach and teaches me new things. If you do something wrong he doesn’t get mad at you and just shows you the right way to do it!” Over the years we have been involved in the vast majority of hockey development in Edmonton and the time my son has spent with Adam has been the most valuable comparatively. I am very thankful my son has the opportunity to work with Coach Adam! I would highly encourage anyone that is interested in further developing their hockey player to reach out to Manah Hockey Development.”
“Adam took my kid’s game to the next level, a great coach that knows how to get the best from students and an even better man!”
“Great teacher. Phenomenal work on the X’s and O’s of the game. Helped my little cousin out a ton and he credited coach Adam with making his rep team.”
