ZIV SCHIERAU
Hockey Dad of Jack Schierau

“The accountability and education at YEA is incredible!
Coaches Joshua and Mariah encourage Jack to stay consistent with his nutrition weekly, which helped him gain 15 pounds of muscle and supercharged his energy levels during the season.
Jack learned about meal timing, healthy supplementation and proper nutrition habits for enhanced hockey performance and I saw the difference in his game, as I watched Jack play his BEST playoff hockey.
Team YEA continues to play a big role in Jack's development. I highly recommend their Program.”
JACKSON MCDONALD
17 yrs, Prev. Captain of Central Alberta Selects Midget ‘AA’, CAD

I'm excited to be two steps closer to achieving my hockey dreams!”
MIKE BONELLI
Hockey Dad of Michael Jr. Bonelli -

"The personalized feedback and goal setting in The Elite Hockey Nutrition Program really gave my son the tangible tools to understand how the right fuel can benefit his game.
Mariah and Joshua helped Michael improve his eating, hydration and sleep habits to build a lot of new strength. He quickly rose to become one of the strongest kids on his team.”
JILL & CALLAM WARD
Hockey Parents of Cole, Reese and Clay

"Learning what to cook for our three hockey athletes to play great has been a game-changer!
The program is really simple to follow. It’s like having a hockey-nutrition playbook in my back pocket.
- Cole packed on 20 pounds of muscle.
- Reese made the USA development camp.
- Clay dominates on the ice and on the field in the summer.
It’s amazing to be able to plug into a community of hockey parents who are also busy and looking for solutions to improve their teenagers eating habits and support them to perform at their best."
JAX MERTINEIT

"Elite Hockey Nutrition took my game to a whole new level!
The program was a perfect fit for my on-ice development and it complemented my off-ice training.
I gained 30 pounds of lean muscle over the past year and I recover way faster after hockey or dryland.
I now lead my team in goals and hits as a strong first line center.
Huge thanks to Coaches Joshua and Mariah for supporting me every step of the way!”
DYLAN LEE-STACK

Thank you Coaches Joshua and Mariah for always being in my corner.”
