Crossbar Mentoring is built around real coaches — pros and lifelong hockey people who watch tape, set goals, run live calls, and stay in your corner all season. Here are a few we're spotlighting — not the full roster. Athletes join through their own coach's invite.
Right Wing · Former NHL (New York Islanders)
A pro right winger whose game was built on compete level and heart — enough that the Islanders honored him with the Bob Nystrom Award for leadership, hustle, and dedication. Kevin coaches the parts of the game that don't show up on a stat sheet: how you forecheck, how you battle, and how you carry yourself as a player. The kind of mentor who'll be straight with you and demand your best.
Goalie-specific mentoring — positioning, rebound control, and reading the play a beat early. Sends you home with a save-by-save breakdown.
Edges, crossovers, and explosive first-three-strides work. Frame-by-frame skating analysis that fixes what you can't feel on the ice.
Defensive-zone reads, gap control, and clean breakouts. Teaches you to defend with your feet and your head, not just your stick.
Quicker release, better deception, and finding soft ice. Breaks down your shot mechanics and where your goals are actually hiding.
Fun-first fundamentals for younger skaters — puck handling, confidence, and loving the game. Feedback parents can follow along with too.
Vision, spacing, and reading the play — the mental side. Slows the game down for you so the right pass and the open lane become obvious.
Crossbar Mentoring pairs athletes with mentors who break down their tape and stay in their corner all season. Join the platform to get started — and if you've played the game, come coach on it.
