Founder & Professional Trainer:
“The addition of Michael Rotolo to our Professional Development Team could not come at a better time. NEHDA is in yet another growth mode and having people like Michael involved will keep us moving in the right direction. Our partnerships with Bill Gray’s Regional Iceplex & Parisi Speed School as well as Holiday/Leisure Rinks & One Up Strength and Fitness are major reasons for our continued success.
“We are now working with more athletes than ever before as well as with coaches from elite junior levels and NCAA programs who are interested in our athletes. Connecting these athletes to these next level programs is very rewarding. Jon Christiano who heads up our Buffalo, NY division has been instrumental in connecting players that train with us and NCAA Division 1 College Coaches. Many of these athletes are now committed!”
