"Your (GOLF) Swing is in the dirt!

– Ben Hogan, Champion Golfer

Meaning: The Discipline in the Repetition of Proper Practice and Sound Fundamentals Will Define Your Story!

In being the President and Hockey Director of the PuckMasters facility, Christian de Lanauze was averaging 36+ hours per week of 'ice' teaching and training players at all levels.

Over a period of 9 years, a unique teaching methodology and training curriculum evolved. But, most importantly, the knowledge gained in HOW to teach; HOW to correct bad fundamentals; HOW to communicate; and HOW to develop proper biomechanics to accelerate a player's athletic command of body applied to playing hockey evolved.

Along with the support of a strong staff, PuckMasters gained the reputation of being the premiere hockey training center in the Chicagoland metropolitan area.

With the vast amount of teaching knowledge gained via the collaboration of the staff, we learned that to effectively build a hockey player, proper fundamentals must first be meticulously built! And to become an effective teacher, a mastery of the subject matter must be analyzed in the Four Cornerstones of hockey- Skating, Stickhandling, Passing, and Shooting Within the Four Cornerstones, all subsets of skills must be analyzed, then Biomechanically Connected to Develop the Muscle Memory, and successfully communicated to the student!

Development takes time and consistency

Hence, the knowledge gained from 30,000+ lessons in how to teach proper biomechanical fundamentals for specific motions and techniques for Stickhandling and Shooting is built into the combination of the Puck Tutor and Tutorial Videos!
