Professional Intel

Over the past decade, I've worked at multiple levels of the game, from grassroots minor hockey to junior hockey, serving in roles that include video coach, scouting coordinator, player development lead, and recruitment. My experience has allowed me to work alongside coaches and organizations by breaking down team systems, evaluating player performance, identifying tendencies, and providing video that translates directly into on-ice improvement.

​

My passion has always been helping coaches make better decisions and helping players better understand the game. Whether it's creating individualized player reports, opponent scouting packages, team video sessions, or shift-by-shift analysis, my goal is to deliver clear, professional, and reliable insights that make a measurable impact.

​

At Ferris Hockey Intelligence, I combine coaching experience with modern video analysis to provide affordable, high-quality services for teams, organizations, and players looking to elevate their performance. Every project is approached with attention to detail, strong communication, and a commitment to helping clients succeed both on and off the ice.

​

Whether you're preparing for your next opponent, developing your athletes, or looking for a deeper understanding of the game, I'm here to help you see hockey from a different perspective.

The Ferris Philosophy

Insights Beyond the Scoresheet

True game intelligence isn't found in goals or assists alone... it lives in the decisions that happen before every play. Our 'Insights Beyond the Scoresheet' approach leverages professional-grade video analysis to decode spatial awareness, scanning patterns, and tactical positioning. We don't just tell you what happened; we show you why it happened and how to master the next sequence of play.
