-Jason Beswick
Head Coach, Northern Highlands Varsity Hockey Team
"I’ve worked with Alex for about 15 years and definitely consider him not only a mentor, but someone who is truly interested in my success. Starting when I was playing AAA youth hockey, through a Junior hockey career in the BCHL, and culminating in playing College hockey at the D1 and D3 level, Alex has been a huge part of my development.
My strength has always been in my skating and vision with the puck. As a defenseman learning to defend with my feet and having a quick stick are vital. Alex’s continued focus on these skills, through high-intensity, individualized drills, led me to be more confident in my skating and highly effective with the puck. Skating with Alex is always demanding and a tough work out, but it has great rewards.
I am heading to play professional hockey, in Europe, this Fall, and know that Alex will be following my progress and rooting me on. I also know he will be expecting to see me at some of his sessions, when I get back."

Whether it’s weekdays or weekends working with Coach Shindelman is always a pleasure and I’d highly recommend him!"

They worked with Alex from the time they were 7 until their teen years in their off seasons honing their skills. Two of them went onto play high level club hockey and one of my boys is entering his senior year of college playing NCAA hockey. My boys coaches have always been impressed by their edge work. Their time with Alex especially in their early development areas was critical to their success."

"Our son began skating with Coach Alex Schindelman in 2022 while preparing for the Pee Wee Quebec Tournament. We had seen firsthand how other AAA players elevated their game after working with him, and it quickly became clear why. After committing to Coach Schindelman’s methods, we saw an immediate and noticeable improvement in our son's skating and skill. His approach is grounded in practical, effective techniques and demands hard work, which perfectly reflects his coaching philosophy. Over the past three years, our son has continued to skate with Coach Schindelman, and the results speak for themselves. Beyond his technical expertise, what stands out most is how much he genuinely cares about his students and their success."
