About David

As a Former NHL player, I know firsthand what it takes to get noticed, stay in the lineup, and build a career in hockey. Now, I help the next generation of players sharpen the most overlooked part of their game — their hockey IQ.

My Approach

As a result of my journey through college, pro hockey, and the NHL, I’ve developed an eye for the subtle details that hold players back — the habits, decisions, and routes that often go unnoticed.

Through detailed video analysis and ongoing mentorship, I help players recognize those patterns, correct them, and replace them with smarter habits that lead to better execution and more confidence on the ice.

The objective is simple:
• Create smarter hockey players who understand the game away from the puck
• Build decision-makers who can execute more plays under pressure
• Develop advanced Hockey IQ that separates players from the pack

Why Intangibles Hockey

I’m not a skills coach. I’m not a trainer. I’m a former NHL player who knows what separates good players from great ones: the intangibles of the game.

This isn’t theory. It’s experience, applied directly to your game.
