Re: Sandy Velenosi

To Whom It May Concern:

May this confirm that I had the pleasure of working with Sandy Velenosi at the 2001 Caroline Hurricanes Summer Camp. The Carolina Hurricanes brought Mr. Velenosi from Canada for this camp in order for him to organize and oversee its power skating component. Power skating is an integral part of any hockey development program. Mr. Velenosi’s system, especially the drills he has created where he exhibits his phenomenal technique, agility and puck control on the ice, greatly impressed not only myself but also the parents in attendance.

Mr. Velenosi proved he is both an instructor of the highest caliber and an individual who possesses an ability to work with both children and the greater community. He truly made our 2001 Summer Hockey Development program a resounding success.

I have no hesitation in providing my recommendation.

Sincerely

Paul Maurice
Head Coach
