“I started working with Eric a little over a year ago and I can confidently say it was for the better. The level of compassion and encouragement he gives has literally kept me going forward in my hockey career with great confidence. From his personal playing experience, to his knowledge and detail of the position itself, is quite amazing. I would definitely recommend Hartzell Hockey to any goalie who is looking for someone to bring them to the next level. “

“ Eric has completely changed my game for the better. Every time I am on the ice with him I learn something new. His knowledge for the game is second to none. And he couldn’t be a better coach, or guy. My success this season is attributed to him. Thanks Hartzy.”

“ In the almost 2 years of my son working with Eric Hartzell, I’ve noticed remarkable changes not only in his play on the ice, but his mental approach to the game. Eric took what was some solid ability and skill, and really refined his play to perform at a high level on the biggest stage in Minnesota High School Hockey. He used a great mix of on ice work, off ice maintenance/workouts, video review and mentoring to bring out the best in my player. I highly recommend his program for those goalies who aspire to play at an elite level.”

“Working with Hartzy has been awesome! He has really helped me prepare physically and mentally for the season. My edges and footwork have never been better in my life. We also have watched film on all our drills, which has really helped me see and find all the little things we talk about. He has really helped me improve my game.”

“When Eric approached me about his Mentorship program, I had no idea how much value my son and I would both get from the program. From a hockey aspect, every detail is covered beyond my expectations. My son’s development changed before my eyes in months. But the program is much more than just simply hockey training. What I never realized was as a parent, the Mentorship program is helping me as well. Eric is constantly providing me with advice. He has plans for what he wants to do and goals he wants to accomplish with my son. This allows me to simply just be a dad. He is very hands on. Eric goes as far as mentoring his happiness in his day to day living, diet, school and billeting. Eric is an amazing Mentor.”
