I highly recommend Tim to lead hockey development programs and coach development. Further, as a parent, I have seen first-hand how Tim is able to identifiy and correct individual weaknesses in a player through progressive and effective lessons.

Thank you Tim!  We would like to express deep appreciation for your coaching and commitment to our Son and to all the players individually. It was such a special year and the boys will remember it forever for the bonds they formed, the fun, and the hockey success. Thank you for believing in Eli and making him a better player and person.  

Tim Has a incredibly strong work ethic and always comes prepared for practices and games. He has been great mentor for my boys, I am amazed at how he can coach Junior Level players and Hockey 2 players and still finds a way to connect.

Tim is a great communicator as evidenced by his talking to players on the bench, one one-on-one goal setting and skills development practices. Tim is always ready to provide positive feedback, develop solutions, and offer advice in a positive manner. Tim is a motivator, a mentor and one of the best you will see at leading youth sports.

Knowledge, experience, passion and dedication are only a few words that describe how Tim approaches being an exceptional hockey coach. Not only does he help them from a technical standpoint, but he challenges their abilities, motivates them and most importantly keeps hockey fun. He is a coach that is very well developed and is amoung the best youth leaders in any sport I have witnessed to date.

Tim was TRULY INSPIRING to play for!

He brought great energy no matter the occassion, and always found a way to motivate the team. He's the coach that can read the room better than anyone, and knows exactly what to say and when to say it. In my opinion, Tim's soft skills make him the coach you want for your club. 

Hands down, Tim cares for his playersand really does wear his heart on his sleeve. Its those kind of attributes that instill trust into players, and pays dividends time ant time again down the line. 

On the technical side of things, Tim ran excellent systems that the players could understand and execute at a high level. His practices developed the skills needed, and never lacked creativity. 

He would always find a new way of running drills to keep players engaged week after week and focused on getting incrementally better. 

Tim held great poise on the bench, if he was nervous or disgruntled you would have a hard time noticing. And along with that poise came great focus and game sense. He was always one step ahead, anticpating line changes, Identifying opportunities for set plays and chances that would give his team the upper hand. 

Most of all, Tim was FUN to play for, and I would do it all over again if I could 

Tim has influenced my life by developing me at a young age to achieve successful Junior and collegiate hockey career. 

I first me Tim through Bantam AAA In Maple Ridge. Tim approaches coaching with a professional and effective teaching style. During this time Tim coached several different systems, strategies, and execution plans. With his leadership, mentoring, and guidence our Team won the Ridge Meadows Minor Hockey Association first ever Provincial Championship !

Several years later, Tim became my personal trainer at Fitlife Strength and Conditioning. This elite off-season training, consisting of on and off ice seassions, was vital to my hockey career with the BCHL's Burnaby Express, Merrit Centenials; and Usports Queens Gaels. He promoted a diligent work ethic and taught the value of comradery within a community. The core values I learned from Tim during my time with him at Fitlife are still very much a part of who I am. 

I endorse Tim because of his strength in character as a mentor. I credit Tim with teaching me " The Will to compete" and "Work ethic". But the most important thing Tim taught me was to believe in myself and to prove everyone else wrong - or even better those who believe in me -Right- . 

Few individuals mentor and positively impact young athletes the way that Tim has over his career - those who know ..know. 

Tim is an outstanding coach, personal trainer, and mentor with exceptional commitment to hockey and athlete character development. His dedication exceeds expectations and I endorse his coaching and mentoring abilities . 

He's dedicated, passionate and I know very few people that try as hard as Tim. I recommend Tim because he makes every effort to succeed, to improve himself and most importantly to improve those around him. 

He understands the real concept of "Team" and the challenging and very rewarding effort it takes to build and succeed as a team. 

My personal experience with Tim in working within hockey development and coaching has taught me that Tim wants the best possible results for the players around him and uses a very positive attitude approach. 

My experience with Tim as a coach and skills instructor with my sons has shown me that Tim is very dedicated and truly cares about the players and their opportunity to develop, improve and care about themselves as a player and as a person. 

I expect continued success and development for Tim in all that he strives to achieve. 

I've had the pleasure of working alongside Tim, on the ice and off. A passionate leader and voracious learner, Tim and the teams he leads will always be on the winning side of the game called life. He has a great grip on where the game is going 

We can't say enough great things about Tim and what he did for our sons and continues to do. Tim's commitment, passion and professionalism went well above and beyond expectations. From on the ice to off the ice, his leadership was unparrarelled which made our experience one of the best we have had in our Hockey journey. 

To have the opportunity to be coached by Tim, is a gift. Our son and a group of kids started  on a new team at the beginning of a tournament, and each game they progressed noticeably.  His coaching method is both calm and inspiring for the kids, he set goals for them off the scoreboard, had them focusing on one shift at a time, and the strides the kids all made individually and as a team was incredibly successful.

Our son said he has learned so much about the game over these past couple of days alone. 

Tim is a passionate, detailed coach dedicated to his craft. He consistently brings energy and enthusiasm to any group he works with, and consistently encourages and pushes his athletes. 

Tim has the ability to communicate effectively to any age group using creative analogies, cues, and live feedback as good or better than anyone I have worked with.

Tim's extensive experience, combined with his willingness and openness to learn, adapt and change are what I feel make him a highly knowledgeable and effective coach. 

There is a reason Tim Instructs our Sea to Sky hockey academies. Quite simple, he is amoung the best instructors I've seen. 

I would think my 43 years of on ice instruction, hockey background as a professional player & high-performance coach has enabled me to recognize talent when I see it. Tim is amoung the best technical instructors I have seen. 

His knowledge and attention to details has helped to produce some very skilled players and teams. 

Any players fortunate enough to step on the ice with Tim will benefit greatly from that experience.

All I can say is your players are in great hands when Tim Knight is in charge of their development in this great game of ours. 

He will focus on many important areas of the game, including a strong belief in that you must practice with diligence & effort in order to improve game performance

Tim Knight is a Role model to my son. His passion for hockey is amazing. He lives and love hockey and is one of the best coaches Tommy has had on and off ice. 

Tommy has always had great experience with him and his programs, and his passion for the game is infectious. 

Tommy has improved so much under his guidence and programming . Merci Beaucoup

Tim is a well organized, talented, focused hockey coach that has helped my son develop into strong responsible young man on and off the ice. 

He is able to get the best out of each player by running his practices with well designed progressive drills that involve the right mix of challenge and fun. 

Kids love to play for Tim and the speaks volumes to his coaching ability. 

I have known Tim for many years from growing up and playing for many hockey teams that Tim has coached. 

From my time being coached by Tim and now seeing what Tim has done with his coaching career, I can't say enough about the passion for the game that Tim brings to the rink everyday. 

With his upbeat personality, practices and games were always fun to be at, which made the game that much more enjoyable and fun to play. The knowledge that Tim has, lead to the increased development for myself and many others that he has coached which can be seen by many that have moved on to the professional levels. 

Inaddition to the on-ice skills improving, his teaching has lead to off-ice skills as time management, working towrds a goal and many more. 

Not only is Tim an all around true professional of a coach, he is also an even better person.
