I ensure your player receives appropriate placement and a strategic plan for their future careers, as well as, look out for their personal well-being. I advocate and guide in helping make well educated and informed decisions, while providing direction and guidance on the best fit for the player and family.

TESTIMONIALS

"Playing for Tony was incredible; he was the best coach I ever had," Jaros said. "It wasn't just on-the-ice, x's and o's stuff. He really made men out of us. He made us accountable for our actions on and off the ice. It was a whole process." "I owe my entire hockey career to this guy. Every opportunity I got was due to the work Tony put into my development as a player and a person. I still try to live by the things I learned from Tony."

Mike Jaros, Former Jr. Blues Player

" I truly don't believe I would be where I am today if it wasn't for Tony. He has an incredible hockey mind and is a builder of men. I had the privilege to play for Tony and coach with him. The details/principles of hard work, commitment, and mental toughness that Tony instills helped mold my playing and coaching career. I'm sure there are hundreds of players that feel the same as I do. From a development and placement standpoint it would be hard to find anyone better."

Jason Bloomingburg, Head Coach of Aurora University

"Tony was like one of the players. It was like he was on the ice with us. He gave us room to grow as men, but expected us to come to the rink with the same intensity that he had. We were a family and Tony created that special connection with the team."

Brian McCullough, Former Jr. Blues Player

"The most trustworthy and straightforward person I have ever met. He has guided me through my career every step of the way with integrity and substance. No one I would trust more.The guy taught me everything about the hockey world and much more."

Mike Sgroi, Former Jr. Blues Player

"Tony gave us a little leeway to become men. We were all boys, 17 or 18 years old. We all looked at him like he was our father. He helped us get to the next stage of our hockey lives, which carried over to where we are at today."

Frank Nardella, Former Jr. Blues Player

"Our son's youth hockey coach, Tony Curtale, is always on the mark when it comes to coaching, advising, and knowledge of hockey paths that work for the player. He is honest about the process and where your hockey player's abilities are."

Brenda Halpin, mother of son, Austen Halpin. Austen currently plays D3 at Colby College where he is studying to be a doctor.

"I don't think anyone's won more NAHL games than Tony Curtale," Wildcats President and GM Paul Baxter said. " He is a winner."
