“Todd Collins is a peer and great friend of mine.  He is a  fantastic  coach and great person.  When I have a question about  coaching, drills  or skills Todd is the first person I go to.  I  have learned so much  about coaching from him.  Not only is he a  great coach but he is a  technical expert of the game as well.   Todd has also worked for me in  my schools as a stickhandling and  skating instructor.”
