  • "Personally, I owe a lot to Lindsay and Pro Hockey Development for getting me to the next level. When I was younger he helped me transition from forward to defense and in Junior, with the London Knights, he transformed me from a mediocre defenseman to a draft pick of the Detroit Red Wings. I have trained with Lindsay from Novice to Pro."
