EUROPEAN PRO
A decade in the pro game, now building the next generation.
I started BHC to bring elite, professional-level coaching and development back to Maine — the kind of detail, structure, and standard I lived every day across NHL, AHL, NCAA and European pro environments.
Too many players train hard without training with purpose. BHC exists to close that gap — to give Maine families access to the same development pathway that took me from a kid on local ice to a career in the professional game.
DETAILS MATTER.
The BHC Method — Why BHC?Four pillars. One complete player.
Every BHC program is built on the same four foundations that define the professional game. Nothing is decorative. Every rep serves the player.
SKILL
01Developing the tools needed to play — skating, hands, shooting, passing. The technical foundation that holds up under pro-level pace.
02Hockey IQ
03Learning situational awareness and decision-making. Good players have to think — reading time, space, and options before the puck arrives.
Compete
Learning to compete and be a dependable teammate. Compete is a skill — it shows up in every puck battle, every shift, every rep.
04Character
Developing coachable players and good people. The standard off the ice is the standard on it. Develop the player. Build the person.
COMPETE IS A SKILL.
The BHC EcosystemA pathway that grows with the player.
From first strides to the next level — families grow within BHC at every stage of the journey.
