“As a former Director of Scouting and Stanley Cup Champion and I am well aware that the margin of making it or winning or losing is small. as a player agent and we send our players to work with Melissa We have found that she is able to do this not only with NHL players, but with minor hockey players, another reason why we so highly recommend her. Cognitive training is today’s NHL and for me, Melissa Bourdeau has mastered it.”

“Since I began cognitive training with Melissa, my game has improved dramatically. My awareness on the ice and ability to read plays has reached a new level, and my reaction time—whether finding pucks through screens or stopping low shots—has never been better. Working with Melissa has truly elevated my game.”
