My son Noah has been attending Morris Lukowich’s Maximum Goal Scoring summer camps for the past 3 years. This fall we also enrolled him into the weekday camp before school.
Noah plays defense and as a parent, I have witnessed a dramatic improvement in all components of his play. Equally as important, Morris has made Noah a much more confident player. Morris accomplishes this through his great attitude, the sharing of his hockey experience and the skill development tools that he provides to all players.
I continually witness Morris going the extra mile with players. He has a keen eye for details that others miss or don’t take the time to correct. Morris will take the time during the session or many times on the ice after sessions, working with individual’s one on one. One of my first encounters with Morris was during his camp 2 summers ago. Noah had grown quite a bit since the end of hockey season. He had started camp with new skates 2 sizes bigger and a stick about 3 inches longer. Needless to say, he was struggling with his new gear and feeling pretty down on himself after the first day. In the hallway before the next session, Morris took him aside and gave him a great pep talk about growing and the difficulties associated with it. I don’t think the talk was more than 2 minutes, but it was a conversation that helped Noah out immediately with his confidence and the effects of that extra effort by Morris lasted throughout the season. Another example of his dedication was shown recently. I had mentioned to Morris that Noah had been called up to play with another team. Morris not only came to watch the game, but waited until Noah came out of the dressing room. He congratulated him on the game and gave him a couple of things to work on. Wow! Talk about going the extra mile!
Morris is an extraordinary individual who with his NHL experience and passion for hockey would be a tremendous asset in the growth and development of all players of all skill levels.
He truly is someone who is giving back to the game.
Sincerely,
Mike Bigland
