/ The Story
Michael played at every level — AAA youth in the AYHL, Junior A in the EHL and NCDC, NCAA Division III at Trine University — a top-10 program in the country.
He started NexGen to give players what made the difference for him: smaller groups, more puck touches, real coaching from people who'd been at the next level, and a path forward to AAA, junior, and college.
He coaches edges, shooting, hockey IQ, and game film. Mental performance and academic support back the program — but the hockey is the work.
