RMHS Testimonials

As a hockey dad and coach, RMHS provides me, my family, and all our association's skaters an extraordinary opportunity. Year after year RMHS not only provides significant development and growth for the player but RMHS itself just keeps getting better. Wehn program models for others by expanding its own developmental capability you at some point must realize that this is were a player needs to be! We could do it with out RMHS!!!

I have always been impressed with RMHS and Coach Smitty. We’ve had a great experience in the multiple events we’ve done over the years, so I was not surprised when the European Tour exceeded my expectations. The trip was extremely organized from start to finish with tour buses for travel and seamless hotel check-ins. But it is not just another hockey vacation. The players are there to work and train, and the parents get to experience Finland. There were ample opportunities for guided sightseeing, activities, and relaxation; we even organized nightly saunas with a lake cold plunge. Coach Smitty has a knack for putting together players and families that gel; it is a memorable experience. Our team still has an active team chat and gets together as much as possible. Our family hosted two other families we met on this trip over Christmas, while five players participated in a tournament! I honestly couldn’t tell you who had more fun, the adults or the players!

I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you for a great week of 8U hockey. JP had a blast and said, "This was the best week ever". He learned so much from his skill development and creating leadership attributes that will be sure to serve him well in all of his future endeavors. We have never seen him so motivated to continue playing hockey. After two days of 6 hours of on and off-ice hockey lessons, he came home and created his obstacle course to stick handle through. We don't push it and let him lead his way, but he was inspired after this week. He even made all of the neighborhood children play a game of Army/Navy (imagine children running from fence to fence as he yells, "Army, Navy, and Hit the Deck"). So again, thank you for a great week of hockey and for developing our players on and off the ice! Megan Megan Cartwright MA-ECSE The Rise School of Denver Director of Education and Inclusion

I found that each camp was helpful based on camp focus because of the variety of things each camp has to offer. It is a lot of fun attending new camps because I always know that I will leave the camp with more knowledge and skill than when I showed up.

RMHS was a camp I always looked forward to in the summer. RMHS taught me a lot about the fundamentals of hockey that I still use in my game today. I would not be the player I am today without the help from the RMHS staff from back when I was young. They emphasize a learning environment that is conducive to both getting better and having fun.

" Bryan, I wanted to reach out to thank you for the program you put together. Bradley and I recently returned from Breckenridge and cannot say enough good things about the program. From the attention to detail by the coaches to the experience with the other children, the facility, and the overall program you guys assembled. Bradley had his first game upon returning and its clear his confidence on the ice, and in the game improved measurably. Not only is Bradley faster, more agile on the ice, his perspective of the game and play improved. I notice it and he notices it. While Florida to Breckenridge is a hike uphill, I can’t imagine we won’t be making the trip again next summer." Thanks to you and your crew for the work put into making it a success.
